Tourism looks towards India

[caption id="attachment_5169" align="alignleft" width="300"] Head of Monaco Tourist and Convention since 2011, Mr Guillaume Rose[/caption] Monaco is seeking investments from Indian entrepreneurs to set up hotels to boost its growth in tourism sector. “We are open for investment from Indian players to set up 3-star hotels for our booming tourist destination,” Monaco Tourist and Convention head, Mr Guillaume Rose, told The Times of India in Mumbai. “We are also looking at growth in IT, green industries and telecom sectors with partnership from leading IT companies from India,” he said. Monaco has registered a strong growth in banking, finance, real estate and tourism sectors over the past few years, Rose added. Monaco hosts over 700 international level events around the year and earlier this year partnered with Fashion Designer Sanjay Garg’s Show at Lakme Fashion Week. The Principality is also seeking to attract Indians to hold weddings in the country. To this end Monaco Tourism partnered with India’s first-ever wedding destination show, Indian Wedding Travel Mart in July as one of the lead country partners.

Fitness fiend and author of “Living with a Seal”, which chronicles his month of living and extreme fitness training with a Navy SEAL, Jesse is owner of Atlanta Hawks NBA team, co-founder of Marquis Jets, and married to Sara Blakely an American billionaire businesswoman the founder of Spanx – an American intimate apparel company. When Marquis Jet was a client of mine, I remember he hired a NYC rickshaw biker to meet him at his office at the MetLife building on Park Ave, and Jesse would cycle back to his apartment on the Upper West Side with the owner of the rickshaw riding comfortably in the back. [caption id="attachment_19365" align="alignnone" width="589"] Jesse Itzler: "We're ALL busy, so get it in when you can. I hired a rickshaw guy to pick me up at my office every night. Then told him to sit in the back while I peddled 8 miles home!"

There will be a luxury basecamp full of tipi tents, music, bonfires and like-minded executives. Think "Burning Man meets Ironman". Here's his challenge. Hike up. Gondola down. Repeat 17 times. 29,029 vertical feet like Everest. If you're adventurous or know someone who may be game for an epic weekend with like-minded folks, you can find more info here. "Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing the lawn", says Jesse. “Come climb the goddamn mountain with me!” Maybe more eloquently stated by Sir Edmund Hillary, “It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” Lorre White is an international luxury market expert and luxury media personality “The Luxury Guru”, Owner of White Light Consulting, Luxury blog www.LuxGuru.Typepad.com     Article first published July 23, 2017.
