The chief marketing officer of Alila Hotels and Resorts shares her best travel tips
Doris Goh, chief marketing officer of Alila Hotels and Resorts, has worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years—a career that has taken her all over the world to places exciting and exotic.
Needless to say, Goh knows a thing or two about how to travel and how to do it well. We caught up with her to get her best travel tips, including her favourite travel app and how to tackle jet lag, and to hear about her best (and worst) memories on the road.

What do you love the most about travelling?
Immersing [myself] in the neighbourhood and experiencing the sights, culture and food.
Most memorable travel experience?
Joining a free walking tour in the East Berlin neighbourhood and hearing stories of the Holocaust through the eyes of a young Israeli guide.
And the worst?
Almost being robbed in Venice—I caught hold of the hand of the pickpocket inside my tote bag only to find out that it belonged to a pretty young pregnant girl. Instead of being helped by the public, I was accused by their ‘gang’ members of bullying the young mother-to-be. I just shrugged it off and went on my way.
