over

hospitality players are finding lucrative propositions in
travel companies, they in turn are looking to invest heavily
in hotels. Sanjeev Bhar delves deeper into the travel-hospitality
nexus.

not only in Asia but around the world, it is attracting dignitaries
from all walks of life for a visit. Praveen K Singh finds
out the requirements that hotels need to fulfill to accommodate
these VVIPs and make their stay comfortable and safe.
Cultural
cuisine

the city of Lausanne, executive Chef Edgard Bovier at Lausanne
Palace & Spa, Switzerland talks with Neeti Mehra of the
culinary influence of the country's neighbours on Swiss cuisine.

but also end up saving money. Praveen K Singh finds out what
hotels are doing to minimise their energy consumption.
The
HACCP certification challenges
Today's world has become a global village. The World Trade
Organisation (WTO), where the agreement on the application
of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) are being acted upon, worldwide initiatives
have removed internal and external trade barriers, thereby
producing a more open market.
