Global gastronomic elite in focus

Summer tourism in Austria is experiencing an upswing – but not without challenges. Between geopolitical uncertainty, climatic changes and changing guest needs, the industry has to reinvent itself. Why “coolcation”, intentional travel and retreat offers will make the difference in the future – and how a hotel on the Arlberg is already serving as a role model.

What does the restaurant industry need to remain successful tomorrow? In “The Future of Gastronomy”, Jan Scheidsteger and Oliver Leisse do not provide vague visions of the future, but a practical, inspiring and critical workbook for all those who shape gastronomy – today and in the future. The book is more than just a guidebook. It is a wake-up call.

With the concentrated know-how of an experienced hospitality developer and a renowned futurologist, the authors succeed in not only highlighting the challenges of the present on around 290 pages, but also developing concrete strategies on how hosts can actively shape change. And – this much is clear – it won’t just start tomorrow. We are already in the midst of change.

“Iran’s Daughters” is an impressive work that focuses on the stories of courageous women with Iranian roots in Germany. This book is far more than a collection of portraits – it is a powerful tribute to the strength, freedom and creativity of women who wear their origins with pride while breaking the boundaries of social conventions.

The diversity of the personalities portrayed, including well-known names such as Jasmin Tabatabai, Natalie Amiri and Düzen Tekkal, is what makes the book so lively. Each woman shares her own personal story – characterized by identity, resistance and the pursuit of a self-determined life. The stories are touching, inspiring and at the same time provide insights into the rich culture of Iran and the challenges of juggling two worlds.

The book’s complexity is particularly outstanding. It combines political statements with cultural elements such as poetry, music and recipes, while the interior and lifestyle insights emphasize the individuality and style of the women portrayed. You can feel the passion and commitment of the authors Leyla Piedayesh and Stefanie von Wietersheim and the photographer Neda Rajabi in every page, who not only document the project but also reflect on their own journey.
