Vacationing in space could become a reality in just three years.

On Tuesday, Orbital Assembly Corp. announced plans for two space stations with tourist accommodations. Pioneer Station, which can host 28 people, is set to be operational by 2025, while the larger Voyager Station, which was originally announced in 2021 with a capacity of 400 people, is scheduled to open in 2027.

"For the average person, being in space will be a sci-fi dream experience," says Tim Alatorre, Chief Operating Officer for Orbital Assembly Corp (OAC), said in a press release.

"Our vision is to make space a destination people will yearn to visit, with familiar elements provided by the presence of gravity," he added.

OAC is creating the world's first hybrid space stations for both work and play.

They will feature artificial gravity which will allow guests to move around as they normally would, rather than in a weightless environment. The technology is not currently available on space stations, according to the release.

St-Tropez, say some, will ultimately benefit from the current Netflix Emily in Paris: producer Darren Star, who earlier did S*x and the City, had Emily (Lily Collins) arrive in ‘St-Tropez’, which has no station, by train, and her St-Tropez hotel is in fact the Blavatnik-owned Grand Hôtel St- Jean Cap-Ferrat Four Seasons – but hotels.com claims interest in St-Tropez has upped 40%.

MICHAEL HOLTZ the ultimate jetsetter
It is an understatement simply to call Smart Flyer a travel advisor, agent or consultant, and anyway, who cares?

This is a highly-respected, well-mannered
New Yorker who, with a BSc in industrial
engineering under his belt, founded a company that is, over 3 decades later, far more than a collective of 250+ travel professionals in the USA, Europe and
Australia • For them, SmartFlyer is a community built on education and collaboration.

For the rest of the travel industry, it is one essential barometer for high-end global travel. For consumers, SmartFlyer acts as an insurance policy in its own right. And for
all industry sectors – including media – SmartFlyer organises gatherings that rival those put on by companies whose sole purpose is events.

LVMH puts fashion into other spaces: Off White’s soul, the late Virgil Abloh, designed a see-through Rimowa suitcase that immediately sold out, and now, 5th January, Dior launches all-white Technogym workout equipment, initially in pop-up gyms.

These Technogym pieces have been reinvented by Dior, created in a white design which features the Dior star, the founder's lucky charm. The name 'Christian Dior' is also embellished on the equipment, alongside five horizontal stripes in contrasting hues, a house signature.

Mohammed el Bahrawy is ceo/founder of the eponymous group planning to open its first ‘floating palace’, Dubai Kempinski, late 2023 – and he is already planning Sochi, his wife’s home town, followed by Egypt’s Mediterranean coast west of Alexandria, and somewhere in Thailand. The 165- room (40sq m up) eco-friendly Dubai structure currently being built in Ras el Khaimah’s shipyards will be towed round to Dubai, 1.5 km south of Jumeirah Beach Four Seasons, and held in place by 16 hydraulic pillars. Attached to this, by static walkways, are 12 villas, for sale or rent, 2-4- bedrooms each (4 are already sold). The entire project is fashioned from marine-standard Russian and Ukrainian steel, with interiors designed by Kempinski, whom Mohammed el Bahrawy chose a partner for a multitude of reasons, including what he calls back-garden hospitality experience, their professional customer satisfaction and their access to Global Hotel Alliance GHA. The el Bahrawy Group, based in Sharm el Sheikh, has been involved in law, plus shipping, since 1980. It has built 18 Nile cruise ships and other vessels: today, conveniently for Mohammed el Bahrawy, one brother is a banker, another a lawyer.

DEAN WINTER md Swire Hotels
Signing a partnership with The Set Collection is
obviously a marriage made in heaven – as soon as it
was announced on 19 January all relevant social
media went ballistic, says Winter. Linking his 4
House Collective properties, all in Greater China,
with the 4 Set hotels, 3 in western Europe plus one in
Israel, pairs like-with-like. All are 100% privately
owned, Winter’s by Swire and The Set’s by the Akirov
family. All are under-150-key boutiques with artistic
flair: coincidentally, Swire’s Shanghai Middle House
and The Set’s ###say where? Conservatorium are
both Piero Lissoni designs.

Will we see more hotels, and brands, realise the value of getting closer to fashion? London Savoy, which has themed a Gucci Suite because Guccio Gucci was once a bellboy, picks up mention in current Gucci centenary hysteria, as do hotels hosting stars during filming of The House of Gucci – Lake Como Villa d’Este (Lady Gaga had the 4-room Villa Cima), Milan’s Armani and Palazzo Parigi, Rome’s Baglioni and Hotel de Russie, Rocco Forte: worth noting that Gucci ceo Marco Bizzarri sees endless possibilities of expanding collaborations.
