2006 Is So Last Year
Did you catch our 2006 travel awards? Well, Travel + Leisure skipped handing out the cheers and jeers, and went with a list of predictions for 2007 instead. Gridskipper registered its measured approval of the Seville's Metropol Parasol, but we thought we'd break down a couple more of the hot tips for next year.
T+L went to press with its excitement over Virgin America, but we now know it won't be launching too soon. On the cultural side, the Royal Ontario Museum is making like Denver and letting Daniel Libeskind design eight new galleries. Qatar, too, jumps on the starchitect/museum bandwagon with a new I. M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art.
On the tail of Thailand's airport renovations, China is getting in on the game with a massive expansion of Beijing Capital International Airport--it will soon be joined by 48 new airports in the country. Yes, 48. Our New Year's resolution? Learn Mandarin.
