ITP Media Group has announced plans to launch a global luxury dining index focused exclusively on high-end restaurant experiences.
The GAYA guide will debut in Dubai in November, before expanding into Singapore, Hong Kong and London - establishing a network of luxury dining indices connected through a single international platform.
“Built specifically for affluent travellers, tastemakers and hospitality insiders, GAYA will identify, evaluate and showcase only the highest echelon of dining worldwide – from intimate omakase counters and chef’s tables to iconic institutions, destination restaurants and the grandest dining rooms in operation today,” a spokesman said.
Each territory will be overseen by a locally based lead inspector, feeding into GAYA’s international board of inspectors, steered by Global Chair, David J Constable, who also assumes the role of Editor in Chief for the brand’s Dubai operation.
ITP has published a UAE edition of the Gault&Millau culinary guide since January 2022, but has now exited from that publishing agreement and will cease operating the French brand in the UAE in December 2026.
