#Destinationtalk Cuba

I am ashamed to admit I have never visited Cuba - despite being a Spanish citizen and previously having the opportunity to visit. However, Cuba currently raises a clear interest for anyone who observes and monitors tourism destinations. The recent change in visitation regulations, after 50 years of isolation and now opening to the USA, is a major milestone that brings many legitimate questions.  While I never visited Cuba, plenty of friends enjoyed the experience over the past 20 years as it is/was. Some would relate visiting Cuba as a trip back in time with the wonderful 1950s cars on the streets and somehow an un-touched decadent glory of the past.  Glory and decadence filled with proud and educated Cuban citizens that kept culture despite minimal resources.   As an example, the wonderful film Calle 54 and how the film opened the eyes to an entire generation in the world. Delicate cherished culture with maestro Chucho Valdes or Tito Puente.  I w...

Last Friday June 5th I had the pleasure first time in my life to speak in Catalan--my mother language-- to a very interested audience and conference. It was great to have the chance to explain my passion for my job and achievements in Europe's tallest building The View from The Shard . The achievements are possible thanks a a great team that I am proud and happy to be part of it. There is nothing more rewarding than speaking about your passion and sharing it to the world.

#Destinationtalk // Spinning the wheels

Can you remember the London skyline prior to the London Eye (TLE)?   Well, if you do it is a clear indication of your age - meaning you are older than 14. I vividly remember when "The London Eye" was launched for the millennium celebrations. TLE was the most remarkable and memorable venue ever conceived by mankind. As a venue and attraction, TLE was a crazy concept that went beyond expectations, it achieved and continues to achieve great success.  London took a risk placing the wheel in the heart of the city, embracing and pioneering a new way of sightseeing – thanks to the creative imagination and engineering folks who took the risk of designing such an incredible landmark. Pioneers and visionaries of such extravagant and unique ideas are not always properly acknowledged and all too often their revolutionary ideas do not become a reality. Actualization of these unique opportunities requires strong decision makers who fully see the long term benefit instead of t...

#Destinationtalk // Keep calm and carry on vs relaxingcafeconleche

Picture January 29th 2014 by Anna Domingo Let’s recall September 7th 2013.  That was the date Madrid lost its bid to host the Olympic Games for third time and all of citizens of Spain and, of course, Madrid felt sadness.  This was the third bid attempt by the Spanish capital for the games and somehow there was a misinterpretation and overdose of confidence towards the other candidacies.  Let’s face it, today the failed bid attempt is history and only Madrid sadly remembers why it happened.  Residents of Madrid as well as Spain hope the city can learn from the weaknesses and errors incurred during the Madrid’s Olympic committee bid presentation.  Nevertheless, the most talked about and and embarrassing misstep for Madrid’s citizens was committed during the mayor’s presentation.  Specifically, Mayor Ana Botella's speech left the entire audience dumbfounded, not only because her English was incomprehensible but also because the content was neith...
