POLO&LUXURY Magazine

1 December 2021

We do not want to start this Coffee Table Book without a big thank you to the many readers who have congratulated us after the publication of the 10-years anniversary issue. Congratulations rained from all over the world and showed us how global the polo family is. The Polo & Luxury Team is proud to be part of this Family! Even though the summer of 2021 was still strongly under the influence of Covid-19 restrictions, many of the most important polo tournaments still took place. The majority with significantly fewer spectators than usual, but they were played: a blessing for players, polo ponies and the friends of the polo sport, as these events were much anticipated. A novelty of 2021 was the Riders Cup, a novel tournament for club teams that could celebrate a brilliant premiere in the picturesque Chantilly. As one of its media partners, we are looking forward to the second edition of the Rider Cup in 2022. Berlin was host destination of a completely new tournament: The first ELASTEN Ladies Cup. The Top Snow Polo Events St. Moritz and Kitzbühel and the first Snow Polo tournament on the red square in Moscow are no longer far away. So, we look forward to elegance, glamour, and hot matches on snow. Kitzbühel celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2022. We met with Tito Gaudenzi, organiser of Snow Polo World Cup Kitzbühel, Top Polo Player and Son of the God Father of Snow Polo Reto Gaudenzi to interview. Malaysia is not only a highly attractive holiday destination, but also the polo sport will be practiced there with passion. The leaders of polo in Malaysia are the members of the family Beh, who celebrate outstanding successes at international top tournaments. We conducted an interview with Dr. Dato Beh Chun Chuan, family head, founder and chairman of BP Healthcare Group and passionate polo player. Our gourmet part is offering special delights, for which gourmets are quite ready to grab very deep into their pockets. Are you searching for the ultimate holiday experience with untouched nature? Then we recommend Necker Island, the private island of tycoon Richard Branson. You will find this and many more exciting reports in your new edition of the POLO&LUXURY Coffee Table Book. I wish you a lot of pleasure while reading. Christoph Hügli (CEO and Co-Owner Polo & Luxury)
