Saturday Mornings: Dr. Guy Llewellyn of EHL Singapore on why the future of luxury travel is quieter, deeper, and off the grid

On the Wide World segment hosted by Saturday Morning Show's Glenn van Zutphen get ready to rethink what luxury travel means in 2025. Dr. Guy Llewellyn, EHL Singapore on how luxury travel is undergoing a profound transformation. In this episode, Dr. Llewellyn explores the rise of "silent luxury"—the newest contradiction in the world of upscale escape. For more established travelers, gone are the days of blingy resorts and jet-set Instagram check-ins. Today’s more sophisticated traveler seeks slow moments, secret spots, and soul-stirring experiences that don’t need a selfie filter. We consider how luxury is being redefined by restraint, authenticity, and intention: think private temple tours instead of velvet ropes, hidden food festivals over Michelin white tablecloths, and a detox from social media instead of posting every sunset. Even sustainability is having its glam moment. Dr. Llewellyn’s gives us a business class seat in the next era of high-end, low-noise adventures as we explore why the quietest journeys may now speak the loudest.

On our Singapore Home Brew segment on the Saturday Mornings Show hosted by Glenn van Zutphen: In this episode, we delve into Singapore’s pivotal role in the global fight against Alzheimer’s disease, spotlighting the recent approval of LEQEMBI® by the Singapore Health Sciences Authority. Clinically proven to slow disease progression in early-stage patients, LEQEMBI® is a huge leap forward for treating symptoms and modifying the course of the disease in some patients. This milestone comes as more than 92,000 people in Singapore currently live with dementia, a number expected to rise sharply in the coming years. As the only Southeast Asian site in the international clinical trial, National University Hospital of Singapore played a key part in this breakthrough, with promising results confirmed in the Asian sub-analysis. Joining us to unpack this development are two leading voices in neurology and aging: Professor Christopher Chen, Visiting Consultant at National University Hospital and Director of the Memory, Ageing and Cognition Centre, and Associate Professor Adeline Ng, Senior Consultant in Neurology at the National Neuroscience Institute. They offer insights not just from a medical perspective, but also from the institutional frontlines where science meets healthcare policy and patient care. We explore how this treatment could transform the future for patients and caregivers in Singapore—offering more time, more clarity, and renewed hope.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
