Pavyllon London is the latest restaurant from the prolific French-born Yannick Alléno, the superstar chef who’s been awarded an impressive 15 stars across 17 restaurants in Paris, Courchevel, Monaco, Dubai, and Seoul.

This light-filled festival is celebrated by communities across the Indian subcontinent and in diasporas far beyond, marking the victory of good over evil with traditions that have been around for centuries, such as the lighting of homes with diyas, indulging in sweet treats known as mithai, and celebrating with music and dance.

While there is a multitude of places to visit in the centre of London, there's another area that should be on every London visitor's list. Not only does Stratford in East London have a wealth of things to see, with many more cultural attractions being developed, but it is also a great value area to stay with modern hotels. It is home to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Westfield Stratford City shopping centre and restaurants serving up food from across the globe, from Thai to Mexican.

Over 200 top companies plan to attend Skift Aviation Forum next week. This includes household names like Aero, AirlineGeeks, American Airlines, Boeing, CLEAR, Delta, Expedia, GE Aerospace, Honeywell, Lufthansa, Oneworld, Skyscanner, and Southwest, just to name a few.

Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort, the “Nature Island’s” landmark, waterfront “All-Inclusive, Island-Included” resort in Dominica’s capital, Roseau, has announced an historic USD$18 million (£14 million) reimagination. Now accepting reservations and due to be unveiled November 2023, the updates, which include 60 new rooms and several new amenities, modernise and expand the hotel while going to great lengths architecturally to not only preserve elements of the 17th century fort, but also showcase the iconic heritage features from the original structure. Having evolved from a military fort to a central police station and, presently, a hotel, the site, which dates back to 1699, has an undeniable sense of character; and a colourful and cultural vibrancy that defines Fort Young Hotel.
