Do what you love and the money will come—this sound advice is what Andrew Dunn, founder of multi-awarded luxury travel company Scott Dunn, followed when he was in his twenties. An avid skier, Dunn started out with what he knew well, crafting ski holidays for clients primarily from the U.K. and operating ski chalets such as the stylish Chalet Shar Pei (shown above).
"A ski company’s success is often completely dependent on the snow conditions. I learned very quickly that I would have to offer something totally different to encourage guests to still want to book a luxury ski holiday when the conditions were less than perfect," says Dunn.
