OUR MOST POTENT RETINOL. So where will travel take us in 2021? With our single global eye focused on the current pandemic, it has been nothing short of fantastical to see how misinformation, massaged stats, inverted realities, and plainclothes lies have blossomed almost as fast as the disease. Where travel will actually take us next year is an impossible question, because both COVID-19 and the rules around it are like unmanned hoses flying chaotically around our garden. Where should travel take us is the pertinent inquiry. To the people doing good work. To the operators benefiting those around them. To the pioneers thinking beyond the short-term toward a more mutually sustainable business model. And yet just as the environment has never been so threatened, there are those who wish to take advan- tage by putting a sheen on their green intentions. Who make a lot of noise spending money to amplify their eco-messages and dazzle the audience rather than create an actual difference. Greenwashing is on the rise. Such sinister and active duplicity leads to murky decision- making for those who truly want to travel more meaningfully. So here is a shout-out to some industry players who are honest and dynamic and have good pedigree in terms of considered action. Suján has some of the most beautiful properties in India and is run by the debonair Jaisal and Anjali Singh, who focus tirelessly on rewilding. It was the first hotel group in India to charge guests a mandatory conservation-contribution levy. Through its three seasonal camps, it has contributed half a million dollars in five years— brilliant relative to its small number of beds. It also funds schools and provides a free mobile medical unit and sanitation program for the villages in its area. Meanwhile, its anti-poaching work is the best in the business; Ranthambore National Park has gone from 37 tigers in 2010 to more than 65 at the beginning of 2020. In Africa, perhaps I would head to the Borana Conservancy in Kenya but also to the Tswalu Kalahari Reserve in South Africa, whose commitment to encouraging biodiversity is also behind the Brenthurst Foundation, a think tank inspiring real change in busi- ness and visitors alike. In Indonesia, there is the astonishing Misool MelindaLP MELINDA STEVENS EDITOR IN CHIEF On the Cover A colorful doorway at the Imperial Abbey of Baume-les-Messieurs, in Jura, France.
