Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The United Kingdom is aiming to attract an altogether different class of visitor with the launch of a new marketing campaign with Dubai-based airline Emirates.
A new marketing campaign dubbed "Britain. A tradition of Luxury" is unashamedly targeting wealthy individuals - those with over $1 million in disposable funds - to persuade them that Britain is worth visiting.
The campaign, which launched February 25, is being launched in China, India, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, which includes Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The focal point of the campaign is a swanky new website offering travel picks for luxury lovers visiting the UK, which include hotels such as the five-star May Fair in London and St Andrew's golf club in Scotland, shops including Harrods and Christie's auction house and a selection of other experiences such as restaurants and sporting events.
The recommended airline for winging your way to such opulent delights is of course Emirates, which provide showers on board its planes for first class passengers, along with other perks such as chauffeur airport transfers.
According to the participants of the International Luxury Travel Leaders' forum in Cannes, France last year, the luxury travel market will begin to recover in 2011 before seeing a significant increase in business next year.
The forum, which included representatives from the world's major luxury travel firms, said that luxury travel from India alone is set to grow at approximately 15 percent over the next five years and was representative of a fast-emerging sector across Asia as a whole.
