What you Cannot Miss in Germany During 2016

Provided by Gresa Rugova (Former CTH Intern) Featured in the March 2016 Edition To start things off we have this lovely piece from former CTH Intern, Gresa Rugova. Gresa being a German native gave us an inside look into some of the top events that were happening in the summer of 2016 in Germany. In 2016, Germany was celebrating producing the purest beer for half a millennium with its beer festival. There was also the World International Movie Festival as well as the Karneval. The way Gresa described the Karneval showed readers that this was an event not to be missed and all in all made for a great read. Quote from the article: ‘It [Karneval] is a time of wild celebrations, where there are parades and costume balls with hand-made costumes and pranks of all sorts!’

Lisbon: The Latest Culinary Capital?

Provided by Tomi Popoola (Online Marketing Assistant) Featured in the September 2016 Edition It is always interesting to see how the industries that we are involved in (hospitality, tourism & culinary) are developing around the world, so this article was a perfect fit. Tomi's wording and descriptive skills were helpful in unpacking what a culinary capital is, using examples such as New York and Paris. He then brought it back home, discussing rising chefs and pioneers in the Lisbon food scene such as, Jose Avillez. Altogether, the article helped show Lisbon as a budding flower in the worldwide culinary scene.
