QATAR // A NEW REGIONAL SHOPPING DESTINATION


Mall of Qatar Shopping Center was announced on a press conference this week in #Doha,Qatar. It is certainly a big major project under construction that will boost #Qatar 2030 vision and certainly add value of experience to local residents and visitors. The regional mall is planned to open on 2015 and the concept, design and experience are breathtaking, from size to content. Certainly, I am proud of working and adding value being part of the initial launch. This is only the beginning of a successful and winning project, more to be announced during Cityscape Doha , hope to see you there at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on May 27th at 12.30pm.

#Placemaking at Airports Enhances Traveler Experiences

A few days ago, I was mesmerized by vintage pictures of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) featured in an article by Los Angeles Magazine .

It struck me then that airports had the potential to be so much more than just places you hurriedly pass through. Fast forward to today, and the landscape of airports ...

Lloret de Mar Needs a Bold Overhaul

  Just recently, I spent a few days in Lloret de Mar—a beautiful Mediterranean destination my family has frequented for decades. Every visit brings a duality of emotions. I return refreshed, basking in the crystal-clear waters and enjoying new spots like the stunning Castell cocktail bar. But I leave upset, frustrated by the town’s stubborn adherence to an obsolete tourism model. Lloret de Mar continues to cling to mass tourism, and it’s a model that no longer makes sense. The numbers back this up. Lloret de Mar offers around 30,000 rooms , a staggering figure for such a small city. To put this into perspective, Barcelona has about 39,000 rooms , and New York, a global behemoth, has around 123,000 rooms, minus 16,000 used for non-hospitality purposes like immigration housing. Why does this matter? Because while Lloret de Mar remains anchored to an outdated concept , it misses opportunities for more sustainable and profitable models. The pre-pandemic tourism data shows little to n...
