A news-style graphic collage featuring a central portrait of a man in traditional religious attire—a black turban and dark robes—against a textured, dark green map of Europe. Flanking him are two inset photographs of luxury resorts: to the left, a snow-covered grand hotel with illuminated arched stonework (resembling the A-ROSA Kitzbühel); to the right, a sun-drenched coastal resort with a large swimming pool and palm trees.
