Issue #6 of Universo TAG invites us to travel and experience the splendor of vintage trains, taking us on a journey across the world—from Egypt to Andalusia, passing through Zanzibar and the Balkans. Additionally, discover the latest updates from leading hotel chains and the trendsetting MICE venues shaping the industry.
Among the highlights of this new issue of Universo TAG, the quarterly magazine published by Travel Advisors, is an exclusive interview with Adolfo García Serrano, Senior Manager for Agencies at Iberia. Additionally, partners such as AVIS, Hertz, Ergo, and Amadeus provide insights into the key trends shaping the MICE sector in the second quarter of 2025.
Splendor on Rails
Traveling by train can become one of the great pleasures of many adventurers who, far from embarking on airplanes on their way to their destinations, prefer to do it with a means of transportation that still retains the charm of yesteryear. Journeys that inspire, that inspire love, in which it is possible to contemplate incredible landscapes, to embark on readings that nourish an experience that promises to be different. The old rails of many of the roads that cross the most wonderful places in the world still today return routes that cross history.
Thus, the Orient Express, the Trans-Siberian, the Rovos Rail on the African continent or the Palace on Wheels in India cross those places that every traveler dreams of at least once in a lifetime. In this issue of TAG Universe we embark on those routes where some of the best stories ever told have taken place. Agatha Christie and the Orient Express, crossing Russia on the Trans-Siberian to Beijing, touring some of the most wonderful corners of Asia (Jaipur, Xian, Beijing or Lasa) in the Palace on Wheels. Live a dream adventure through South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania on the Rovos Rail or cross the Peruvian Andes aboard the Hiram Bingham, whose last stop is the amazing Inca city of Machu Picchu. Places that turn the world into a collection of stories to be told. Like the ones that L’Artisan by MTGlobal invites you to experience…
Egypt, in the Shadow of the Pharaohs
At MTGlobal, we understand the fascination that a country like Egypt awakens in every traveler. One of the most significant and highly anticipated events of 2025 is the inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum on July 3rd. After more than twenty years of anticipation, and standing in the shadow of the Giza Pyramids, up to 100,000 artifacts will shape what is expected to become one of the world’s most visited cultural landmarks in the near future. This multi-day inauguration is set to be a monumental event, with Egypt positioning the museum as a premier cultural and tourism hub, solidifying its status as a gateway to the wonders of the ancient world.
A legendary civilization now unveiled to the public in a new way, offering a deeper understanding of its extraordinary legacy. Its remarkable treasures will immerse visitors in the splendor of an era that shaped history. From the iconic Pyramids of Giza to the majestic city of Luxor, sailing along the Nile, or reaching the mythical city of Alexandria, Egypt is a land that invites exploration, admiration, and awe. A journey through this timeless destination promises to leave every traveler truly overwhelmed by its grandeur and mystery.
Andalusia, a Land of Cinema
Through the website ‘Andalusia, film destination’ you can discover all the places where some of the most popular series and films in the history of television and cinema, respectively, have been filmed.
