Dear readers,
welcome to the October issue of our magazine. This time I would like to invite you to something special. Come and learn about the historic properties you can not only visit but also taste and stay over the night. Reconstructed, refurbished, redesigned – all of the hotels keep their historical atmosphere and character. For those who choose thrill rather than fluffy pillows of luxury hotels there is the adventure tours section inviting all enthusiasts to jump from an African bridge, hop on an elephant back in Asia or even crawl like a mole in the deep dark caves in Wales. The Professional section turns to the tourists and the current trends in tour guiding. What do people expect to experience at a sightseeing tour? What kind of people these cultural tourists are? For those who have enough of long queues and delayed flights there is also the section Transport offering a quick solution to your problems – private jet chartering. Let us get familiar with all the pros and cons of this air taxi services and learn how to get what you need.

Or even in a former jail? Come and see what is on offer today.

The efficiency of the service, privacy while traveling, and flexibility of time schedule – these are the most highlighted and the well known benefits of private jet chartering.
