Passport Magazine Passport Magazine October 2017 Back Issue

For this year’s Spa Issue of Passport magazine, our writers and photographers traveled the globe and found some of the most wonderful places to delight our senses, pamper our bodies, and renew our love of life. Come with us as we visit some of “The World’s Most Incredible Spas.” Whether it’s a couple’s massage, mud bath, or seaweed facial, this astonishing array of international spas is sure to provide you with just what you need to relax and revitalize. Grab a fork and get ready to eat your way through Nashville, Tennessee, where guests are treated with trademark Southern hospitality and some of the best food in the USA. Pack your bags for Tokyo and discover the fascinating people and places that are an integral part of this amazing city’s vibrant LGBT community. Head for Venice, Italy during the off-season when it’s less crowded, less expensive, there are less lines for museums and events, and it’s much easier to get restaurant reservations and tickets to shows and recitals.
Get up close and personal with Anthony Melchiorri whose TV show Hotel Impossible is transforming the hospitality world one hotel at a time; meet Bill Bensley and Jirachai Rengthong who created Bensley, the design and architecture empire whose prolific creativity is the hallmark of luxury resorts and properties in over 30 countries; and join Paul
Boonrungreung from the Christian Lacroix–designed SO Sofitel Bangkok as he tells us about all things to do, see, and experience in one of Asia’s most thrilling cities. Bon voyage!
