		<description><![CDATA[It’s high time to explore the Mother City’s world-renowned and ever-dynamic creative community! Design is putting its best foot forward this June and inviting you to step out on the inaugural Cape Town Design Trail from 1-30 June 2021. Over 100 participating designers, studios and brands will bring the entire month to life with a stimulating array of launches, exhibitions, presentations, talks and displays. The new trail gives participants one-on-one access to incredible showrooms and private maker spaces while raising the bar for the industry and involving the city as a whole. Not-to-be-missed, the trail is presented by the Decorex Africa portfolio and is the first of its kind for the city. The array of stimulating sights and sounds allows Cape Town to cement its reputation as a creative capital, and a former World Design Capital. Cape Town is also the first city in Africa to be named a UNESCO City of Design &#8211; and the accolade is rightly deserved when you look at the exceptional calibre of its creative citizens. To help you make sense of the massive variety and number of participants, the trail has been divided into a series of curated routes, each with its own theme.

		<description><![CDATA[The five-star Relais &#38; Châteaux hotel The Cellars-Hohenort, a member of The Liz McGrath Collection, is pleased to announce that Sebastian Berinato has been appointed as the new general manager of the hotel, with effect from February 2020. The seasoned, award-winning hotelier, who has over 40 years’ experience within the hospitality industry, is ideal for the position – in 2017, the MAIA Luxury Resort &#38; Spa in the Seychelles was named ‘Resort of the Year’ under his stewardship, and he was named ‘General Manager of the Year’ in 2015 while overseeing operations at the Southern Sun Newlands hotel. Formerly the general manager of The Marine Hotel in Hermanus – and hotel manager at Asara Wine Estate &#38; Hotel before joining The Liz McGrath Collection – Berinato has had a long and distinguished career at hotels of distinction. He holds an American Hotel and Motel Association Diploma, completed at The Carlton Hotel in 1980, and spent the better part of 30 years working for several Southern Sun properties in South Africa. During his tenure, he received ‘Hotel of the Year’ awards in 1995 and 2007 respectively while managing the Crowne Plaza Sunnyside Park hotel in Johannesburg and The Beverly Hills Hotel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Singita, multi-award-winning hospitality and conservation brand, officially opens Singita Kwitonda Lodge and Kataza House in Rwanda on 1 August 2019. Set on 178 acres (72 hectares) on the edge of Volcanoes National Park, Kwitonda Lodge boasts eight luxurious suites, while Kataza House, an exclusive-use villa, features four spacious suites.  Singita has operated iconic ecotourism lodges and camps in Africa for the past 26 years. The brand’s expansion into Rwanda supports the company’s 100-year purpose to preserve and protect large areas of African wilderness for future generations. To this end, Singita has committed to extensive reforestation initiatives in Rwanda, helping to increase the range and numbers of endangered mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. The opening of Singita Volcanoes National Park also brings much-needed attention to the plight of the gorillas and the urgent need to expand and protect their habitat.  The warm and welcoming spirit of the people of Rwanda embodies a sense of goodwill that encapsulates their remarkable recovery from a painful past. The gentle energy that drives them forward in their country’s rebirth is truly inspiring. It is within this context that Singita is privileged to open Singita Volcanoes National Park, contributing significantly to conservation, community partnerships and [...]]]></description>
