Message from the Publisher

Welcome to the Autumn/Winter edition (volume 5) of Executive Venturer.

Executive Venturer was privileged to be invited to Croatia by the director of the Croatian Convention and Incentive Bureau, Nikola Racic, along with a group of UK buyers. Since the visit in October, several of the group have been in contact to discuss business in the country.

Also in this issue, editor Kate Sherry interviewed the general manager of the Grand Hotel Europe, Thomas Noll, at his hotel in St Petersburg.

Our regular features include New Developments and the Gizmo section, which in this issue has details of the latest smart phones. Executive Venturer competitions are extremely popular. In this issue they are courtesy of Grand Hotel Cannes and Papyrus (for the second issue running).

Enjoy the magazine and please let the editor or myself know if there is an area or feature that you would like us to include in a future issue.
