Angel Sinclair: Founder, Models of Diversity

Authenticity, persistence and empathy. You have to lead with your values, even when it's difficult, and always remember that the mission is bigger than yourself.

True hospitality comes from people who actually want the guest to have a good time, not just people who are doing their job. The difference is not always obvious in the moment but guests feel it.

Amal Ishtar: Oriental Dance Artist & Cultural Storyteller

Sensory immersion gives people the rare opportunity to experience a culture ﬁrsthand and form their own judgments, rather than just consuming narratives ﬁltered through the media or social media. It brings a culture that feels geographically distant right to their doorstep.

Akvile Marozaite: CEO & Co-Founder of Expedition Cruise Network

I think modern life, with its challenges such as loneliness, disengagement, mental health struggles, and lack of empathy, stems in part from forgetting how to be human in that broader sense—part of a living, interconnected organism. Expedition cruising, with its emphasis on exploring the natural world alongside education, provides a powerful way of reconnecting with that understanding.

Clare Minchin: Founder of Vumbua Africa

I am passionate that individuals and families should have a full range of opportunities, be able to think positively and achieve their dreams. I include in this the older traveller who remains keen to experience the world around them, alone or with extended family but have age related limitations.

Juliet Dennis: Chief Reporter, Travel Weekly

In my early years at Travel Weekly, I learnt how the industry ticked, thanks mostly to those who worked in the sector who were happy to share their knowledge to a young, inexperienced travel trade journalist.

At its heart, being a story-listener means co‑creating experiences with communities rather than extracting stories from them. They are the experts, and I have the honour of learning from them, following their lead and helping them to shape and share their stories with confidence and dignity that they deserve.

Piotr Truty: Director Key Accounts Luxury, Banyan Group

Jan Bonville - Editor of TILT — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:55:05 +0000

Working across the different cultures and markets that I have in my career so far teaches you that luxury is not one story; it’s a collection of narratives shaped by history, values, and social expectations but most importantly you start to see that “luxury” isn’t a fixed aesthetic or a universal checklist — it’s a cultural language. And every market speaks it differently.

Drawing on everything I learned through trauma, recovery, and growth – alongside the wisdom gained from some of the world’s most respected mentors – I became a new woman. The journey of changing myself changed everything.

Ariane Sanders: Founder, Sonda Studio

Jan Bonville - Editor of TILT — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:32:01 +0000

Through understanding how strongly environments can support or drain how I feel, I wanted to make sure the spaces I design were truly supporting the people using them.
