Whether you want interesting locations, meetings and conferences, travel management, current affairs, investment opportunities or travel advice, Business Destinations offers an unparalleled selection of features for the traveller and scholar alike. The Spring issue's special reports include an investigation into Cuba's experimentations with market socialism, as well as a look at the purpose-built business infrastructure of Abu Dhabi. Business Destinations also offers an insight into the adoption of environmentally beneficial technologies in urban environments, and explores the attempts of prosperous cities to draw in tourists and investors with an authentic brand identity.  

In Business Destinations' cover story, Rita Lobo interprets the ever-changing socialist economy of Cuba under new leader Raúl Castro. With existing examples of successful market socialism in China and Vietnam and recent oil discovery off the Cuban coast, there could be a bright fiscal future for this island nation. In another of Business Destinations' special reports Michal Zuk considers the small Canadian town of Fort McMurray, in which approximately 10 percent of the world's oil reserves reside. Looking at environmental implications and issues of extraction, Zuk discusses the gifts and curses of 'black gold'.
