In this episode of So Many Places to Go we learn about Iberostar Hotels and Resorts, and take our conversation across the globe to Spain! Our guests Shannon Crowther and Patricia Otal talk to us about their groundbreaking Wave of Change responsible tourism project and the lab on the reef. Key bonuses with Iberostar include the flexibility of not having a big legal department to work around and the 'no surprises' approach to fees, making it easy to go and enjoy the cities, heritage, entertainment, international cuisine, the gastronomy trends in meetings, and more. With hotels (and cruises!) in Europe, Brazil, Dominican Republic and the Caribbean, you'll be ready to pack your bags and start exploring!

In this episode we talked with Joao Gomes and learned about The Westin Galleria and The Westin Oaks Houston: the largest hotel complex at The Galleria Houston. With a long-tenured staff, meeting space with lots of natural light, and plenty of space to be creative with your events, they aim for true "hospitality" and make sure you leave as friends (and we did!).
