China warned citizens against Japan travel amid diplomatic tensions, while Archipelago partnered with Tonino Lamborghini for luxury hotels.

China warned its citizens against traveling to Japan during the Lunar New Year, its longest public holiday. While the official statement cited “a surge in crimes targeting Chinese citizens” as well as earthquakes, everyone knows that President Xi is not happy that Japan’s Prime Minister suggested that if China attacked Taiwan, it could trigger a military response from Tokyo. Beijing even said it would be a crushing military defeat for Tokyo if it were to use force to intervene over Taiwan. The number of Chinese tourists to Japan plunged by 45% in December. PM Takaichi said China’s characterization of her remarks is inconsistent with facts.

Archipelago and its luxury lifestyle hotel brand Huxley have partnered with Italian luxury brand Tonino Lamborghini for the operation of luxury hotels and residences. Archipelago has been appointed as the exclusive operating partner for Tonino Lamborghini luxury hotels and residences in the Dominican Republic,
