The post South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao to showcase synthesis of Boholano culture and nature appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Accor Philippines’ newest property South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao – MGallery Collection is all set to open its doors on 8th August.

The new resort is slated to usher a new era of luxury hospitality and local storytelling to Bohol, the biologically diverse and heritage-rich island province in the Southern Philippines.

With its blend of tropical scenery, cultural charm, and natural wonders that include vibrant coral reefs, the mysterious UNESCO-listed Chocolate Hills, and a tarsier conservation sanctuary, Bohol has the potential to become Southeast Asia’s next dream destination. 

This makes it the perfect location for the newest addition to the MGallery Collection, which strives to tell intriguing stories in one-of-a-kind locations. 

According to resort general manager Danish Khan: “South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao – MGallery Collection is more than just a destination; it’s a living narrative. We offer signature experiences that bring the story of Bohol to every guest journey. We have created a place where local culture comes alive, where nature and luxury exist in harmony, and where guests can create meaningful connections that transform every stay into a personal story.”

A luxe getaway inspired by nature

Nestled on Bohol’s most beautiful beach, less than 5km from Bohol-Panglao International Airport, South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao – MGallery Collection lets guests explore the exotic wonders of this idyllic island, above and beneath the waves.

Inspired by the legend of Sirenna, the spirit of the sea and guardian of Bohol, South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao – MGallery Collection captures the cultural essence of this aquatic wonderland. 

The waters beyond the beach are crystal-clear, and guests can swim out among tropical fish and colourful corals that shimmer in the sunlight. 

Then, a mysterious sunken plane rests peacefully on the seabed, one that Boholano lore says is guarded by local spirits. 

Moved by these myths and legends, industry-leading architects and interior artists, including Patricia Ho of White Jacket, Philip Pond of Atelier Pond, and Patrick Keane of Enter Projects Asia, came together to craft a captivating design concept that tells the story of Bohol’s time-honoured traditions, folk tales, tribal roots, and agricultural heritage.

Having entered through a dramatic archway of entwined vines and branches, visitors are greeted in a light-filled lobby in the shade of a majestic banyan tree. 

Every low-rise building is crafted to respect traditional architecture, using locally sourced materials, flowing shapes and indigenous designs that blur the boundaries with nature. 

The iconic Walk Bridge is a spiralled walkway, while the heady fragrance of the lemongrass garden floats throughout the open-planned resort. 

Each of the 188 rooms and suites is a luxurious sanctuary, rooted in biophilic design and Boholano storytelling, with rustic-chic interiors that feature handwoven headboards, bamboo accents, rattan lighting, and coconut wood furnishings.

A local feast for the senses

Guests may embark on meaningful, low-impact journeys infused with the spirit of Bohol. Reef snorkelling, diving at the nearby plane-wreck, serene spa treatments, family activities, and authentic rituals are all enriched with the personal warmth of Filipino hospitality. 

Just 1km from the resort, the working farm lets eco-conscious explorers embrace the art of sustainable island living, with animal feeding and workshops, and close encounters with friendly carabao (local water buffalo). 

Diverse dining experiences are on the menu at four restaurants & bars, young guests can enjoy fun-filled days at a colourful kids’ club, and a striking pavilion and alfresco lawn set the stage for exceptional events, including weddings.

Under MGallery’s signature M Moments experiences, which are designed to provide a connection with the artisan traditions of each destination, guests can discover asin tibuok, The Timeless Crystal of Bohol: a rare type of sea salt that is only found in this part of the Philippines. 

An exclusive excursion transports guests through the time-honoured process of producing this unique product.

The post Beats, Bund, and Beyond: Tomorrowland to Make China Debut, Turning Up Volume on Music Tourism in Asia appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Tomorrowland is going East and indoors. If you’re a globetrotting music lover chasing festivals across continents, November 2025 just got a lot more interesting. For the first time ever, Tomorrowland, the world-famous Belgian electronic music festival, is heading to China — and bringing with it a new era of destination music travel.

Set for November 22, The Magic of Tomorrowland will take place at Hero Dome, right on Shanghai’s iconic Bund waterfront. This marks the festival’s first indoor showcase globally — and its China debut, fusing beats with breathtaking visuals and immersive storytelling.

From festival backpacker to luxury event-hopper, music tourism is hitting its crescendo. The global music tourism market is expected to grow from roughly USD 6 billion in 2023 to over USD 6.5 billion in 2025 and this is just the beginning. In the U.S. alone, the music tourism market is projected to reach USD 31.6 billion in 2025. Hence, Tomorrowland entering China will be a significant milestone in this direction.

Built around the theme ‘Paperworld,’ the experience promises all the Tomorrowland hallmarks: massive stage designs, sensory theatrics, and a stellar lineup of global headliners and China’s rising stars. It’s not just a music event — it’s a ticket to a different world, wrapped in the vibrancy of one of Asia’s most dynamic cities. “This won’t be a traditional outdoor festival,” said Clinton Lau, Head of Music at INS Land. “It’s been built from the ground up to create intimacy, intensity, and impact — bringing the magic of Tomorrowland to China, reimagined through a local lens.”

The festival is a collaboration between Hero Esports, INS Land, Budweiser, and Tomorrowland’s One World Artist agency. Organisers are betting big on cross-cultural exchange, aiming to introduce Chinese artists to the world and bring international talent into China’s buzzing music scene. Dino Ying, Chairman of Hero Esports and INS Land, summed it up: “We’re not just hosting a festival — we’re building a cultural bridge. The Magic of Tomorrowland will set new standards for immersive entertainment in Asia.”

The post From Dammam to Big Ben: Saudia’s New Direct Route Takes Off in November appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Saudia will launch direct flights between Dammam and London Heathrow in November 2025, expanding air connectivity between the UK and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. The move is part of a broader strategy by the Saudi Air Connectivity Program, working in close partnership with the Saudi Tourism Authority, Dammam Airports Company, and the Sharqia Development Authority (SDA) to promote international tourism to the Kingdom.

The route will be operated three times a week in both directions, offering greater access for British travellers to the Eastern Province, a region that has remained relatively underexplored compared to Riyadh or Jeddah. For travellers from Saudi Arabia, the direct link adds convenience for business, leisure, and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) travel.

The launch is timed strategically to tap into winter tourism traffic, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s ongoing campaigns to attract European visitors seeking cultural experiences, Red Sea adventures, and mild desert weather.

Supporting Saudi Vision 2030

The Dammam–London route is part of a larger national effort to grow Saudi Arabia’s international route network in line with Vision 2030. This route, in particular, is designed to elevate the profile of Dammam as both a tourism and economic hub, highlighting its potential to host international events, promote coastal tourism, and support the country’s logistics and energy sectors.

Officials from the Air Connectivity Program noted that including Dammam in overseas tourism marketing campaigns — especially in the UK — would help generate inbound interest beyond the traditional tourism centres.

With this new route, Saudia is not only expanding access to one of Europe’s busiest airports, but also reinforcing the Kingdom’s ambition to become a top-tier global tourism destination by opening new gateways for travellers.

The post Rosewood Doha has landed — And it’s serving skyline drama, starchitect dreams, and star-powered cuisine appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Marking a striking new chapter in Qatar’s luxury hospitality scene, Rosewood Doha has opened its doors this week. Situated at the forefront of Lusail, the country’s planned city of the future, the property introduces a lifestyle concept that is both immersive and emotionally intelligent. With 155 rooms and suites, 162 apartments, and 276 residences, Rosewood Doha aims to deliver a lived-in sense of elegance anchored in place, memory, and design.

Betting big on Qatari identity and shaped by organic architectural cues, the hotel is envisioned not merely as a building but as an emotional experience. Inspired by coral formations and the flowing traditions of pearl diving, Rosewood Doha’s architecture reflects Qatar’s intimate relationship with nature. The design draws from the idea that physical space can shape inner state — a philosophy that carries through from its fluid exteriors to its intricately designed interiors.

Collaborations with Qatari artists bring the concept to life, infusing the hotel with layers of narrative and heritage. Artworks featured throughout rooms, residences, and shared spaces serve not as decoration but as conversation — reflecting Doha’s evolving identity and celebrating the textures of local culture.

A culinary destination in its own right

The property’s food and beverage offerings are no less poetic. Mila, a 24-hour Levantine brasserie, reimagines Middle Eastern comfort food in a sleek setting. Asaya Kitchen leans into a wellness-forward Mediterranean approach, with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients guiding its menu. Koo Madame, inspired by 1920s Shanghai and the enigmatic Madame Wellington Koo, brings Chinese cuisine to life with theatrical flair, while Stoke & Stoker and Sikar offer refined settings for cocktails and cigars respectively. The Butterfly Room, delicate and luminous, is designed for leisurely lunches, elegant teas, and evening gatherings — a space where time softens.

A personal rhythm of wellness and reflection

At the heart of Rosewood Doha is Asaya, the brand’s signature social wellness club and its first in the country. The events space unfold across over 3,400 square metres, including a grand ballroom, bespoke Events Studio, and a serene Bridal House — each designed to marry Qatari elegance with contemporary functionality and personalised storytelling.

“With Rosewood Doha, we had an extraordinary opportunity to express not just the future of luxury hospitality, but the emotional texture of Qatar. Every space was designed to feel purposeful and personal,” said Juan Samso, Managing Director. By anchoring global design in local identity and offering curated experiences that reflect the spirit of Qatar, Rosewood Doha is positioning itself as more than just a hotel — it’s a cultural destination, a lived experience, and a love letter to the soul of Doha.

The post Shell Aviation, Accenture and Amex GBT announce the evolution of Avelia appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Shell Aviation, one of the largest suppliers of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), Accenture, and American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) have announced that Avelia is in the process of evolving to an industry solution with independent data hosting and a multi-supplier model helping users access the greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits of SAF from multiple SAF suppliers, including Shell. Avelia’s evolution aims to better meet customer needs, accelerate SAF adoption, and provide companies with a clear, scalable pathway to credible business travel life cycle GHG emissions reductions* from aviation.

This comes at a critical time for the aviation sector. SAF is widely recognised as the most viable solution for reducing* the life cycle GHG emissions of aviation today, with the potential to reduce life cycle GHG emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel when used neat.¹ However, according to IATA, in 2025, SAF production is expected to reach only 2.1 million tonnes or 0.7% of total jet fuel production².

Avelia has established itself as the leading³ blockchain-powered book and claim solution with the aim of scaling SAF, reducing the life cycle GHG emissions* of aviation and enabling greater participation in the sector’s decarbonisation efforts.  Launched in 2022, Avelia helps companies to access the GHG benefits of SAF without being constrained by its physical availability at specific locations.

As of 31 March 2025, more than 57 corporations and airlines had joined Avelia⁴ and over 900 retirements had been executed. This contributed to the injection of over 33 million gallons of SAF into the existing global fuel network at 17 airport injection points around the world, resulting in over 300,000 tonnes of CO₂e⁶ abated⁷, the equivalent of over 530,000 passengers flying from London to New York.

Avelia’s evolution towards an industry-wide solution introduces functionalities that will enhance transparency, flexibility, and industry participation, including:

• Independent data hosting. With the platform data now hosted and handled by Accenture, Avelia also provides a blockchain-powered transparent, secure, reliable and externally verified platform for accessing and allocating the information for the applicable SAF offering.

• Multi-supplier solution. Until now Avelia has only accepted SAF supplied by Shell. With this change, Avelia is in the process of evolving from a single-supplier platform to a multi-supplier solution, helping users access the GHG benefits of SAF from multiple SAF suppliers, including Shell. Customers, including airlines, corporations, and freight forwarders, will be able to manage SAF from different suppliers within Avelia, simplifying their SAF overview.

• BYOS (Bring Your Own SAF) model. Avelia is looking to introduce a BYOS model, which enables airlines to manage more of their SAF portfolio in Avelia, including SAF originally purchased outside of the Shell supply network as well as SAF that otherwise would have been tracked offline and not on a digital registry. This feature will support the use of book and claim solutions for tracking SAF, helping build credibility for book and claim at an industry level and accelerating SAF adoption.

• Multilateral governance. Avelia is in the process of setting-up a multilateral governance structure to enable multi-party involvement and more transparency information around the Avelia operating procedures.

Raman Ojha, President, Shell Aviation said: “This moment marks a significant milestone not only for Avelia but for the aviation sector. Avelia’s evolution from a single-supplier platform to a multi-supplier industry solution is a powerful demonstration of how collaboration, technology and innovation can accelerate the scaling of SAF. We are proud to help enable broader participation and transparency in the sector’s efforts to reduce life cycle GHG emissions while supporting our customers in reaching their climate goals.”

Evan Konwiser, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, Amex GBT said: “For the majority of companies, Scope 3 emissions represent the largest share of their total carbon footprint and reducing them can be challenging. As a leading software and services company for travel, expense, and meetings & events, Amex GBT is committed to leading with our customers on decarbonisation. As a partner in Avelia, we continue to grow and evolve the world’s first and now most established book and claim platform for SAF. Together we can accelerate its scale and increase customer access to its environmental benefits.”

Dr. Jesko-Philipp Neuenburg, Global Travel and Aviation Sustainability Lead, Accenture, said: “Evolving Avelia into a multi-supplier industry solution is a decisive step to scale SAF in aviation, strengthening industry collaboration and resilience while using sustainability as a growth driver. As Avelia’s strategic advisor and technology partner, Accenture continues to shape its evolution while overseeing data processing, and hosting for Shell. This safeguards data compartmentalization and transparency, giving customers clear control. It also builds the secure, scalable foundation needed for a flexible industry platform. Together, we are enabling aviation to advance towards achieving its climate commitments.”

Wonders of India
