July 2022
Dear Passengers,
Dragi putnici,
Jul je po mišljenju mnogih sa razlo- gom najlepši letnji mesec. To je najtopliji mesec severne hemisfere, koji je naziv dobio u čast slavnog rimskog vođe Gaja Julija Cezara. Kako svaki mesec ima svoju boju, boja 7. meseca je koralnoružičasta i u julu sa punim pravom možemo da stavimo ružičaste nao- čare i takav pogled usmerimo na putovanja. Ipak, pre nego što se prepustimo svim čarima ju- la, želimo da vas podsetimo da smo u junu obeležili godišnjicu poslovanja raznim prigodnim aktivnosti- ma. Pod sloganom 95 godina letenja , dizajnirali smo poseban amblem koji spaja tradiciju i savremeni tre- nutak, odajući počast bogatoj istoriji srpske nacional- ne avio-kompanije. Amblem ćete imati priliku da vidi- te na trupu 12 aviona tipa erbas i pet aviona tipa ATR iz naše flote. Otvorena je i izložba Godina velikih ju- bileja srpskog vazduhoplovstva: 95 godina nacional- ne avio-kompanije i 60 godina beogradskog aerodro- ma , koja će svim putnicima biti dostupna od 1. jula na Aerodromu Nikola Tesla Beograd , a istim povodom, u saradnji sa Poštom Srbije, kreirali smo specijalne poštanske marke. Dok čekate svoj let, pogledajte izložbu fotografija koje dokumentuju sve značajne periode razvoja naci- onalne avio-kompanije, od Aeroputa preko Jugoslo- venskog aerotransporta (JAT) i Jat ervejza do Er Sr- bije , kao i beogradskog aerodroma. Sigurni smo da će među vama biti i onih koji će pod utiskom nekih fotografija evocirati svoje uspomene sa prethodnih putovanja jer su sećanja tu, samo ih morate probudi- ti. Možda je baš ova izložba odlična prilika da neka od njih i ponovite zajedno sa nama. Uspostavili smo osam novih linija iz Beograda, i to do Trsta, Liona, Hanovera, Barija, Bolonje, Nirn- berga, Salcburga i Palma de Majorke. Uspostavili smo i sezonske linije Kraljevo–Solun i Kraljevo–Tivat, kao i između Niša i Tivta i Niša i Atine. Ovog leta omogu- ćili smo vam veliki izbor jer planiramo da letimo na više od 70 redovnih i čarter destinacija. Sezona godišnjih odmora se polako zahuktava, a mi želimo da vam pomognemo da pronađete inspira- ciju za idealan odmor. U ovom broju vas vodimo u Ba- ri i Trst, do kojih možete stići našim direktnim letom. Za one koji planiraju da provedu leto u Srbiji prepo- ručujemo neka od najlepših jezera kao što su Zlatar- sko, Perućac i Zaovinsko jezero. Iskoristite priliku da vratite u modu dobru staru naviku bez koje je neka- da letovanje bilo nezamislivo – pošaljite razglednicu, sa našom jubilarnom poštanskom markom, naravno. Hvala vam što birate da letite sa nama, želimo vam ugodan let i boravak na izabranoj destinaciji.
July is believed by many to be the most beautiful summer month, and for good reason. The warm- est month in the northern hemisphere, it was named af- ter famous Roman statesman Gaius Julius Caesar. Every month has its own colour, and the colour of the seventh month is coral pink, so we are fully entitled to don our “rose-tinted glasses” and spend July focused on travelling. However, before we surrender ourselves to July’s charms, we would like to remind you that we spent June celebrating the anniversary of our operations through var- ious appropriate activities. Under the slogan “95 years of flying”, we designed a special emblem combining tradition and modernity that pays tribute to the rich history of the Serbian national airline. You will have the opportunity to see this emblem on the bodies of 12 Airbus-type planes and five ATR planes in our fleet. An exhibition entitled “Year of great anniversaries of Serbian aviation: 95 years of the na- tional airline and 60 years of the Belgrade Airport” was also opened and will be available to all passengers at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport from 1 st July. We also worked in co- operation with Post of Serbia to create special commem- orative postage stamps to mark this occasion. As you await your departure, check out the photo ex- hibition documenting all the important periods in the de- velopment of the national airline – from Aeroput, via Yu- goslav Airlines (JAT) to JAT Airways and Air Serbia – and Belgrade Airport. We are certain that these photographs will evoke memories from previous trips among some of you, because those memories are there and need only be awakened. This exhibition might just be an excellent op- portunity to revisit some of those fond memories with us. We have established eight new routes from Belgrade – to Trieste, Lyon, Hanover, Bari, Bologna, Nuremberg, Salzburg and Palma de Mallorca. We have also introduced seasonal Kraljevo-Thessaloniki and Kraljevo-Tivat routes, as well as services from Niš to Tivat and Athens. We’ve provided you with a large selection of destinations for this summer, as we plan to fly to more than 70 scheduled and charter flight destinations. The holiday season is slowly gaining momentum and we want to help you find inspiration for your perfect break. In this issue we will be taking you to Bari and Trieste, which you can visit with our direct flights. For those planning to spend their summer in Serbia, we recommend some of our most beautiful lakes, such as Zlatar, Perućac and Zaovine. Seize the opportunity to restore a good old hab- it that used to be an integral part of every journey abroad and send a postcard, using our commemorative postage stamp, of course. Thank you for choosing to fly with us. We wish you a comfortable flight and a pleasant time in your destination.

Er Srbija uspostavila sezonske letove iz Niša i Kraljeva More nikad nije bilo bliže! Bilo da se odlučite za Crnu Goru ili Grčku, sada do svojih omiljenih letnjih destinacija možete odleteti sa čak tri srpska aerodroma
Er Srbija je 14. juna letom JU 2524 u 7.45 pokrenula sezonske le- tove između Kraljeva i Soluna, ko- ji će se obavljati dva puta nedeljno, utorkom i subotom. Srpska nacio- nalna avio-kompanija je dan kasnije pokrenula i letove na sezonskim lini- jama Niš–Tivat i Niš–Atina, kao i Kra- ljevo–Tivat. Letovi na novoj liniji između Ae- rodroma Konstantin Veliki u Nišu i Aerodroma Elefterios Venizelos u grčkoj prestonici, u trajanju od sat i 55 minuta, obavljaće se dva puta nedeljno, a toliko će puta biti obav- ljani i sezonski letovi na relaciji Niš–Ti- vat, koje je Er Srbija obavljala i prošle godine. Letovi do atraktivne turistič- ke destinacije na Crnogorskom pri- morju trajaće oko 55 minuta.
Sezonski letovi na novoj liniji iz Kraljeva ka Tivtu uspostavljeni su le- tom JU 2188 i obavljaće se dva puta nedeljno u trajanju od jednog sata, a realizovaće se avionom tipa ATR. – Drago nam je što proširujemo ponudu sa aerodroma u Nišu i Kra- ljevu da bismo putnicima iz regio- na južne i zapadne Srbije i Šumadije olakšali odlazak na popularne letnje destinacije u Crnoj Gori i Grčkoj to- kom sezone godišnjih odmora. Us- postavljanjem avio-saobraćaja iz Ni- ša i Kraljeva, Tivat postaje destinacija do koje letimo sa sva tri aerodroma u Srbiji, čime se značajno osnažuje povezanost sa Crnom Gorom tokom letnje sezone – izjavio je Boško Ru- pić, direktor za komercijalu i strategi- ju Er Srbije . Seasonal flights between Kra- ljevo and Tivat, which last one hour, commenced with flight JU 2188 and will operate twice a week using an ATR type aircraft. “We are glad to be expanding our offer from Niš and Kraljevo air- ports in order to make it easier for passengers from the regions of So- uthern and Western Serbia and Šu- madija to travel to popular destina- tions in Montenegro and Greece during the holiday season. With the launch of flights from Niš and Kra- ljevo, Tivat has become a destina- tion that Air Serbia serves from all three of its airports in Serbia, whi- ch greatly strengthens our conne- ctivity with Montenegro during the summer season,” says Air Serbia General Manager, Commercial and Strategy, Boško Rupić. take 55 minutes.

Zašto volite avione?
Why do you like planes?
Volim taj osećaj letenja I love the feeling of flying
Avione volim iz ne- koliko razloga. Prvi i osnovni, što se mene tiče, je- ste to što volim osećaj letenja, naročito osećaj tokom uzleta- nja. Drugo, avioni su jedino me- sto gde svoju potrebu za kontro- lom prepustim nekome, a to je takođe dobar osećaj. Treći razlog je pogled iz ptičje perspektive, koji je nešto zaista posebno i je- dinstveno. Bez čega ne ulazite u avion? – U avion ne ulazim bez knji- ge ili časopisa, instalirane igri- ce na telefonu, žvaka, naočara, a sve drugo što bi eventualno mo- glo da mi zatreba ima u avionu. Ko je Milan? Prve glumačke korake napra- vio je u Omladinskom pozorištu Dadov, nakon diplomiranja na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu 2013. postao je stal- ni član Jugoslovenskog dram- skog pozorišta. Igrao je u mno- go serija – od onih generacijskih poput Jutro će promeniti sve, do sve popularnijih kriminalističkih kakve su Besa ili Državni službe- nik. Na sceni matične kuće odi- grao je brojne uloge, ali je sarađi- vao sa mnogim drugim teatrima u Srbiji. Ruski film Dovlatov mu je doneo nagradu za najboljeg mladog glumca na 40. međuna- rodnom filmskom festivalu u Moskvi, a uvršćen je među deset najboljih evropskih mladih glu- maca na Berlinalu 2019. Filmska publika zapamtila ga je i u ulozi Tome Zdravkovića.
Milan Marić, glumac/actor
What don’t you board a plane without? “I don’t board a plane with- out a book or magazine, games installed on my phone, chewing gum, sunglasses, and the plane has everything else that I could possibly need.” Who is Milan? He took his first steps in act- ing at the Dadov Youth Thea- tre. Following graduation from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, in 2013, he became a permanent member of the Yu- goslav Drama Theatre. He has performed in many television se- ries - from generational ones like Morning Changes Everything to increasingly popular crime ones like Besa or Civil Servant. He has performed numerous roles on the stage of his home thea- tre, but has also collaborated with many other theatres around Ser- bia. His performance in Russian film Dovlatov won him the Best Young Actor Award at the 40 th Moscow International Film Fes- tival, while the 2019 Berlin In- ternational Film Festival includ- ed him among the ten best young European actors. He is also re- membered by film audiences for the role of Toma Zdravković.
“There are several reasons why I love aer- oplanes. First and foremost, as far as I’m concerned, it’s be- cause I love the feeling of flying, particularly the feeling during take-off. Second, planes repre- sent the only place where I give my need to be in control to some- one else, and that’s also a good feeling. The third reason is seeing the land from a bird’s-eye view, which is something really special and unique.”

Trst je poznat po tome što njegovim ulicama duvaju ve - trovi. Oni pravi, hladna bura, ali i oni istorijski vetrovi koji su ovamo donosili dinosauru - se i neandertalce koji su neka - da lutali brdima kraškog regio - na. Legenda kaže da su Jason i Argonauti uplovili sa Zlat - nim runom, ali su ovde „duva - le“ i imperije – Rim, Vizantija i Austrougarska. Svi su osta - vili trag. Kuć a Habsburga iz - gradila je već i deo kraljevskog jezgra Trsta i ostavila trajni trag u njegovoj gastronomiji – što se vidi po pivu, kiselom kupusu i štrudli u mnogim re - storanima. Vetrovi su doneli i Džejmsa Džojsa, koji je s pre - kidima živeo u gradu počet - kom 20. veka. Ali Trst teško da je samo isto - rija.

Charming artistic fusion of centuries
photography museum, an expanding nightlife hub and a fancy new nearby marina, Portopiccolo, combine wi- th old-world churches, pictu- resque piazzas, sumptuous palazzo-museums, classic Austrian coffeehouses and cosy seafood restaurants to create a distinctive Adriatic experience. White market Magazines, olive oil, peppers, shoelaces, bouquets, old cir- cus clown paintings, faded postcards, ginger-apple jam and that vintage Doris Day album: you can now tick the- se items off your shopping list. All are on offer at the Mercato Coperto, a two-le- vel space dating back to the 1930s and including touc- hes of Art Deco. The pungent aromas of regional produce emanate from grocery stalls, fishmongers and flower stalls. Antiques and art The Revoltella Museum pro- vides vivid proof that Italian art continued to thrive even after the Renaissance. The upper floors of the museum — three combined historical palazzi — display 19 th - and 20 th -century Italian painters (and a few foreign expats) who might not be household names, but whose works are awe-inspiring. The opulent historical rooms of the lower floors are a treasure trove of decorative arts, from the vast ballroom to the ornate library, lined with leather-bo- und volumes.
Trieste is famous for its cold, gale-force Bora wind and, in- deed, all manner of creatures and people have blown thro- ugh this coastal city in Italy’s far northeast. Dinosaurs and Neanderthals once roamed the limestone hills of the Karst region, and legend has it that Jason and his Argona- uts sailed in with the Golden Fleece. Empires breezed into town too, notably the Roman and Byzantine empires, but it was centuries of Austrian ru- le that left the most enduring mark. The House of Haps- burg built much of Trieste’s regal core and left a perma- nent mark on its gastronomy — as revealed by the beer, sauerkraut and strudel to be found on many restaurant menus. The winds also brou- ght James Joyce, who lived in the city intermittently du- ring the early 20 th century. But Trieste is hardly a gu- sty relic. A new high-tech

Jamon, jamon It isn’t a Bigas Luna film, but a huge mortadella greets vi- sitors to the Trattoria da Gio- vanni, a wood-lined restaurant that dates back decades. Lo- cals crowd the counter all day long seeking slices from this delicious sausage, or from an endless succession of fre- sh-cooked pink hams, which bartenders slide into thick ro- lls with shaved horseradish and mustard. Grab an outdoor table and order from the me- nu, which might include local treats like jota (a homely so- up that usually includes be- ans, potatoes and pork), or sweet sauerkraut topped with plump sausages, roasted pork chunks and succulent pig’s tongue. Unfiltered No one has an excuse to be tired in Trieste, because the streets are dotted with coffee- houses. When it comes to the best views, none beats Caffè degli Specchi, a 19 th -centu- ry venue on the Piazza Unità d’Italia, which is itself said to be the largest seaside squa- re in Europe. Ringed by ornate palazzi, this café’s outdoor ta- bles overlook the Adriatic and the 18 th -century Fountain of the Four Continents. Austrian aristocrats The glory of the Hapsburgs li- ves on eternally at Miramare Castle. Built at the behest of Archduke Ferdinand Maximi- lian, this seaside Gothic Revi- val structure of white Istrian stone feels like a museum of 19 th -century craftsmanship. Moving through its luxurio- us bedrooms, ballrooms and dining halls, you will encoun- ter wondrously painted ceilin- gs, exquisite furnishings, silk wallpaper and chiselled ivory chests. Still, the real star is the sea, which enters every room through tall windows.

Grad Svetog Nikole na štikli italijanske čizmice
mogu nać i u kripti, ispod ol - tara, zbog čega Bari naziva - ju gradom Svetog Nikole. Ov - de možete pronać i i posmrtne ostatke starih lopova koji su „preobrać eni u dobru veru“. Domaca pasta Via del arko baso je ulica po - znata po sušenju veša i sveže testenine. Ovde se bake bude rano da bi napravile pozna - tu gradsku pastu u obliku uha, koja se suši u mrežama drve - nih poslužavnika ispred nji - hovih vrata. One prodaju ovaj specijalitet meštanima i turi - stima na kilogram i ve veko - vima u Bariju čuvaju ovu tra - diciju. Porto vekio U ovoj luci možete videti šare - ne ribarske brodove u bilo koje doba dana na mirnim vodama Sredozemnog mora. Ipak, naj - zanimljivije je jutro, kada ribari na pristaništu istovaruju i pro - daju svež ulov dana. Sladoled Bio bi greh otić i iz Barija, a ne probati jedan od njegovih spe - cijaliteta – sladoled. Na koju god stranu da se okrenete, vi - deć ete prodavnicu u kojoj se prodaje čuveni đelato. Dostu - pni ukusi zavise od sezone, ali ć e uvek biti neke iznenađuju - ć e italijanske opcije. Plaža i Lido San Frančesko Na istoku starog grada mo - žete pronać i plažu i Lido San Frančesko. Ovo područje je jedno od najopuštenijih mesta u gradu. Sredozemno more nudi zlatni pesak i plaže sa bi - strom plavom vodom, pa pro - sto zove da se smirite posle burne no i. Ovde možete pro - nać i i prodavnice, restorane i barove... Prosto, bić ete sreć ni što ste u Italiji.

Bari is a lively port city situ- ated on the heel of the boot that is the Italian Peninsula. The capital of the Puglia regi- on, it is a port of embarkation for voyages around the Me- diterranean Sea. Drenched in history, Bari is a charming gem of Southern Italy and an ideal destination for tho- se seeking to uncover this re- gion’s fun atmosphere. This beautiful city has some in- teresting facts that you sho- uld know and some locations that you shouldn’t miss… Saintly relics Construction of the Pontifi - cal Basilica San Nicola, or the Church of Saint Nicholas, be- gan in 1087 to house the reli- cs of the saint. The relics we- re transported from Myra, in what is today Turkey, and can be found in the crypt that’s located under the altar. You can also find the mortal re - mains of old thieves who we- re ‘converted to good faith’. Homemade Pasta Bari’s Via dell’Arco Basso is a street that’s known for ai- ring laundry and drying fresh pasta. Here old ladies awa- ken early to make the city’s renowned ear-shaped pa- sta, which is dried in mesh screens of wooden trays out- side their doorways. These ladies, who sell their pasta by the kilo to locals and tourists alike, are continuing a traditi- on that dates back centuries. City of Saint Nicholas on the heel of the Italian boot
Porto Vecchio You can always see colourful fishing boats bobbing on the calm waters of the Adriatic in the harbour of the ‘Old Port’, but morning is the most in- teresting time because you can then watch fishermen unloading and selling their fresh catch along the pier. Gelato It would be a sin to leave Bari without trying gelato, which is one of its specialities. You will see shops selling this de- licious snack wherever you turn. The availability of flavo- urs depends on the season, but you’ll always be able to find some surprising Italian options. You will find the city’s bea- ch and Lido San Frances- co to the east of the centre of the Old Town. One of Ba- ri’s most relaxing spots, here the sea has provided golden sand and clear blue water. Perfect conditions to restore your tranquillity after a crazy night on the town. Here you can also find shops, restau- rants and bars, but you’ll simply be happy that you’re in Italy.

Recognised around the world as one of the most be- loved tenors, with over 90 million records sold, Andrea Bocelli shifts the boundaries of music with every new performance he makes. He per- formed at Queen Elizabeth II's Plat- inum Jubilee celebrations in Lon- don, and over the course of his career has sung in front of four American presidents, three popes and numer- ous prime ministers, but also at the world’s most important sport- ing and cultural events. He arrives in Belgrade after a nine-year break, once again ready to warm the hearts of the audience and provide them with the highest quality music show on offer anywhere in the world at the moment, at least when it comes to fusions of classical and pop music. Mariza, in contrast, has already had six sold-out concerts in Belgrade and is this time arriving with the wish to stage an unforgettable con- cert spectacle akin to those she’s already put on at London’s Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House. To the accompaniment of her own musicians, on a big stage on the bank of the Sava, under an open sky, Mariza will transport the audience to the magical world of fado, which is said to be “music of the soul”.

Nastupio je na proslavi 70. godišnjice vladavi- ne kraljice Elizabete u Londonu, a tokom karijere pevao je pred če- tiri američka predsednika, tri pa- pe, pred brojnim premijerima i na najznačajnijijm sportskim i kultur- nim manifestacijama širom sveta. U Beograd stiže posle devet godi- na, spreman da i ovoga puta za- greje srca ljubitelja muzike i pruži
im najkvalitetniji muzički šou ko- ji se u ovom trenutku može vide- ti u svetu, kada je reč o spoju kla- sične i pop muzike.

U pratnji svojih muzičara, na ve- likoj sceni na obali reke Save pod otvorenim nebom, Mariza će pu- bliku uvesti u magični svet fada, za koji se kaže da je „muzika duše“.

Period pandemije je bio težak i za turiste i za ugostitelje. Kako je to uti- calo na vašu kompaniju? – Prošli smo kroz težak peri - od, ali smo vrlo ponosni na to da smo kao veliki međunarodna ho - telska kompanija uspeli da sačuva - mo zdravlje i broj zaposlenih i da istovremeno radimo na razvoju i implementaciji novih tehnologija. Uprkos svim izazovima i nepred - viđenim okolnostima, kada smo praktično bili onemogućeni da du - goročno planiramo, uspeli smo da u periodu od 2020. godine do da - nas izgradimo i otvorimo četiri ho - tela sa ukupnim smeštajnim kapa - citetom od 1.200 jedinica, a peti hotel, čija je izgradnja započeta takođe u pandemiji, zvanično će biti otvoren krajem ove godine. Šta biste istakli kao vaš najveći razvojni potencijal? – Nedvosmisleno, to su naši kadrovi i mogućnost brze i kvali- tetne adaptacije kako na nepred- viđene okolnosti poslovanja, tako i na nova tržišta. Takođe bih ista- kao i saradnju sa već pomenutim kompanijama Paramount i Mar- garitaville, sa kojima smo posti- gli veliki uspeh.
„Želimo da doživljaj i nivo usluge sa Kariba prenesemo i u regionu, i u Evropi, i na Bliskom istoku“, najavljuje Nemanja Kostić, direktor Karisma Hotels&Resorts za Evropu i Bliski istok
ji podrazumeva ne samo hotel sa pet zvezdica ili all-inclusive ponu - du već stavljanje svakog gosta u centar pažnje i potpunu usmere - nost ka njegovom iskustvu. Da li možete da otkrijete neke od novih destinaci- ja na kojima ćete otvoriti prve objekte? – Ubrzo ćemo biti prisutni u Sr - biji, i ovom prilikom vam to najav - ljujem, ali o detaljima ćemo neki drugi put. Fokus nam je na bren - dovima Paramount i Margarita - ville , odnosno na Nickelodeon , MTV, Margaritaville Island Reser - ve i St. Somewhere hotelima, na čijem smo razvoju prilično odma - kli na pojedinim evropskim desti - nacijama i Bliskom istoku.
Sa Kostićem smo raz- govarali o ulaganjima, ponudi i planovima jedne od vodećih hotelskih grupacija u svetu.... Prva asocijacija na Kari- sma hotele su daleke de- stinacije poput Meksika i Dominikanske Republi- ke. Da li je moguće isti koncept odmora preneti i na evropsko tržište? – Svakako, to je ključan deo naše dugoročne strategije. Pose - dujemo ogromno iskustvo i sve neophodne resurse kako bismo turistima i u Evropi i na Bliskom istoku omogućili odmor i užitak kakav imaju gosti naših hotela na Karibima. Reč je o konceptu ko -

Here we discuss with Kostić the investments, offers and plans of one of the world’s leading hotel groups... faraway destinations, like Mexico and the Domini- can Republic. Is it possi- ble to transfer the same holiday concept to the European market? “That’s certainly a key part of our long-term strategy. We possess vast experience and all the essential resources required for us to enable tourists in Eu- rope and the Middle East to ha- ve the same kind of holiday and enjoyment as guests of our ho- tels in the Caribbean. This is a concept that implies not only a five-star hotel or all-inclusi- ve offer, but also placing every single guest at the centre of our attention and a total focus on their experience.” Karisma hotels are pri- marily associated with
Could you reveal some of the new destinations where you’ll open your first facilities? “We will be present in Ser- bia very soon and I’m using this opportunity to announce that to you, but we’ll discuss the deta- ils another time. Our focus is on the Paramount and Margaritavi- lle brands, i.e., Nickelodeon, MTV, Margaritaville Island Reserve and St. Somewhere hotels, which we are quite advanced on developing in individual destinations in Eu- rope and the Middle East.” The period of the pandemic was difficult for both tour- ists and hoteliers. How did it impact on your company? “We endured a difficult peri- od, but we are very proud that - as a large international hotel com- pany - we managed to preserve our employees’ health and their number, while at the same time working on the development and

implementation of new technolo- gies. And despite all the challen- ges and unforeseeable circumstan- ces, we succeeded in constructing and opening four hotels, with a total accommodation capacity of 1,200 units, in the period from 2020 until today – when long- term planning has been rende- red practically impossible – whi- le the fifth hotel that also began to be built during the pandemic will be officially opened by the end of this year.”. What would you single out as your greatest develop- ment potential? “That’s undoubtedly our per- sonnel and the ability to adapt qu- ickly and in a quality way, both to unforeseen business circumstan- ces and new markets. I would al- so highlight our cooperation with the aforementioned Paramount and Margaritaville companies, with whi- ch we’ve achieved great success.”
