Jaimie Voss: Career, Confidence & Definition of Success After Stroke

Jan Bonville - Editor of TILT — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:26:07 +0000

I've had to overcome mountains. Surgery after surgery, setback after setback, each one demanding a deeper well of strength than the last. If the woman on the floor could see me now, I think she'd be proudest of this: her entrepreneurial flame has been relit, and she's building something with real meaning, a business she feels genuinely passionate about.

For some destinations, the Chinese tourism market still seems very niche to them, even though it’s one of the largest international tourism markets in the world. They may have a lot of preconceptions about Chinese travellers that are either outdated or unrealistic – but really this is a market that’s already quite mature and also very diverse.

Working in hotel operations taught me to truly understand guests' needs and the importance of treating every person as an individual. We all respond to different things, but we all want to feel seen, recognised, and genuinely welcomed.

Spotlight on Pan Pacific London

Jan Bonville - Editor of TILT — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 12:44:55 +0000

Some hotels impress with grand architecture. Others are remembered for exceptional service or beautiful interiors. Then there are those rare properties where every element comes together so naturally that accessibility becomes almost invisible - not because it has been overlooked, but because it has been thoughtfully woven into every aspect of the guest experience.

Pan Pacific London⁠ is one of those hotels.

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

Jan Bonville - Editor of TILT — Fri, 29 May 2026 08:57:27 +0000

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.
