Just in case you might think that the global pandemic was slowing resort development, it would seem nobody’s stopping the luxury all-inclusive model. In early September, Hyatt Hotel Corporation acquired Apple Leisure Group, a leading luxury resort-management services, travel and hospitality group for 2.9  billion dollars adding over 100 resorts to their catalog! This acquisition has created a powerful force in the global travel industry. And it defines how this model kept the travel industry alive in the early days of the pandemic and what is driving it still today. New resorts such as Dreams Karibana Cartagena Columbia, Dreams Cozumel Cape Preferred and Secrets Moxche Playa del Carmen, are all opening in the upcoming months and all part of the Hyatt/ALG conglomerate. Many more to come! Why? Luxury all-inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico are offering the safest and easiest travel experience.  

For now, all travelers entering the US will need to acquire a negative antigen test before boarding the plane. Sounds like a hassle, right? Wrong if you chose the right hotel!  The all-inclusive luxury properties are offering the test on property for your convenience. The concierge sets up your test a day before you depart, and you receive your negative result for you to present to the airlines. And even more important and impressive, if you would test positive, these resorts will offer complimentary stays for the 10-14 days of quarantine with meals delivered all at no cost!  

Luxury all-inclusive resorts are pulling out all the stops to provide a safe and healthy vacation environment. Boost your immune system with the vitamin D, fresh air, exercise, and positive energy! ENJOY!!

Exquisite beauty from the heavens. Profound wisdom from dynasties past. Discover authentic Chinese culture, as Shen Yun Performing Arts, the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company, comes to Aronoff Center in February.

Shen Yun, a New York-based company, was founded in 2006 by an impressive group of Chinese artists. Their dream was to create a renaissance for mankind’s most ancient heritage. Today, their wish has become an international phenomenon. 

Shen Yun performs in 150 cities worldwide. With breathtaking dances, gorgeous costumes, live orchestra, and dynamic backdrops, this is a show brimming with themes of courage, hope, and triumph of good over evil. Shen Yun is the world’s only company depicting Chinese culture as it had been before it was nearly destroyed by decades of communist rule.

Shen Yun features hundreds of handmade costumes—showcasing apparel from China’s 5,000 years of history. Their exquisite colors blend seamlessly with the animated backdrops, instantly transporting the audience to another world. The animation also contains a few
surprises, but those are best left for the performance. 

At the end of a cold winter, Shen Yun’s warm embrace of this ancient heritage is a great way to welcome in the new season, and is a highly accessible, enlightening, and entertaining experience.

Shen Yun at Aronoff Center March 25-27. For tickets and more information, visit www.ShenYun.com/Cincinnati
