LE Miami, the world’s first invitation-only travel tradeshow to reflect the shift in luxury, honors Priya Paul, Chairperson of The Park Hotels as one of the forbearers of the contemporary travel industry. LE Miami’s motto: #RebelsWithCause, pays homage to the forebears of the travel industry; the ground-breakers who first broke with tradition and provoked the future of contemporary travel.
Priya Paul, selected as one of the 12 original rebels honored, alongside Ian Schrager, Nick Jones, Alex Calderwood, André Balazs, Tim and Kit Kemp, Anouska Hempel, Claus Sendlinger, Carlos Couturier and Moises Micha, Loh Lik Peng, Sam Nazarian, and Alan Faena. To pay tribute to Priya Paul and all the Rebels with Cause, LE Miami have commissioned international artist Mia Mandela to illustrate every designers’ portrait, to be displayed at the show.
“I wanted to show people that you could have an alternative experience in hotels, one that was about a lifestyle. The elite industries were basic in India and policymakers slow – I wanted to educate people as to what design is about. It is a great honor to be included in the stalwarts of the contemporary travel industry.” says Priya Paul on being honored as the forbearer of the contemporary travel industry at LE Miami 2015.
