It's a New World issue this month in Canadian Traveller with destinations ranging from Vancouver to Panama.

First up is a look at all the brand new developments in downtown Scottsdale. From the Waterfront and SouthBridge shopping and dining developments to new hotels and transit, Scottsdale rises shiny and new from the Sonora Desert.

Heading south, Panama is also on the rise, quite literally. The face of Panama City is constantly changing with every new high-rise that opens. The beaches are pristine, the jungle an adventure-seeker's paradise and the Canal a modern engineering marvel.

Over in the Caribbean, Aruba boasts the highest repeat visitor rate in the region, and is rolling out new travel incentives and a brand new agent-only website.

Back in the U.S.A., Utah is inspiring, inviting, and just plain breath-taking. Clients can ski at 13 world-class resorts, hike and bike in awe-inspiring canyons and relive Wild West History.

Far from a post-party hangover, Vancouver will welcome the world long after the Games leave town.

Our special feature is on Railways of the World, and sales expert Steve Crowhurst tells you how to get aboard the higher commissions track.

As always, our regular columnists are speaking their mind. In his $elling With $teve column, Crowhurst contemplates "About Us" Marketing; and the folks at Discover America count the top five one-off events in the U.S.
