Featured Destination: Budapest
  
 MM and Company has been representing Microcosmos DMC since 2001. Perhaps one of the world's most beautiful cities, Budapest enjoys not only a spectacularly advantageous natural location, but also an atmosphere combining the exotic with the sophisticated and the cosmopolitan with the uniquely Hungarian.
Budapest will surprise you at every corner. This is due to the fact that this city of 1.7 million people stands for a lot more than purely being the capital of Hungary. It is a grand icon of the past and a modern metropolis, a treasure-trove filled with over 2000 years of history mixed with an array of cultures and riveting events. This is a city with a profound intellectual and cultural DNA which it carries naturally, effortlessly but not imposingly. It's a city with easy appeal for all meeting and event planners because it's a very serious city that never takes itself too seriously.

Funky Frankfurt (yes, it's funky) November 2011 by David J Marks
 In November, I was in Frankfurt with Eva and Silke from the Germanyinsight Frankfurt office to take a look to see what Frankfurt and its close by cities has to offer and it has a lot to offer. Frankfurt is a small city only 625,000 people live there the traffic is light and manageable. My objective was to see the city but I did have a look at a couple of hotels, I stayed in the five star Rocco Forte Villa Kennedy Hotel very nice indeed, sadly did not get to enjoy the awesome spa in the hotel. I also took a good look at the new Jumeirah Frankfurt hotel, it is lovely, brand spanking new with a whole bunch of new ideas of how to work with the conference and incentive market place. The lifts are cool instead of calling a lift to go up or down you tell the touch pad by the lift which floor you want to go to, the touch pad tells you which lift will arrive you step in the doors close, you do not have to press any buttons as the lift knows here you want to go, how cool is that? I took some terrific pictures of Frankfurt and the hotels if you want to see any of them give me a call.

Mysterious Moscow revealed November 2011 by David J Marks
 My visit to Moscow with Valeria Veronika and the team at Russian Event was picture perfect first it was cold second it snowed a better script one could not have written. I travelled on Thursday morning courtesy of the lovely Kathy from All About Flights on BMI International from Heathrow the flight was 3 hours and forty minutes. We took off at 9.30AM and landed Russian time at 5.30 PM, the Russians decided not to change the clocks as we did (well at least the Russian President decided not to change to winter time) so the UK is now four hours behind Russia.

Awesome Istanbul revisited December 2011 by David J Marks
 Every time I go back to Istanbul (I guess this was my 87th trip) and my last trip was in August this year something new has opened. This time the new Divan Hotel in Taksim has opened, the old Divan Hotel was knocked down and a new and very much improved hotel has opened on the same site. The totally refurbished Pera Palace Hotel also has opened, the building was in a state of disrepair it was closed and has been reborn as a magnificent addition to the hotel inventory of Istanbul.
