At Chapter II – Travel and Hospitality, every journey begins with the client. We design fully tailored experiences shaped around individual interests, pace, and purpose. Whether it is a curated exploration of the culinary traditions of a Caucasian country, a private Himalayan adventure through India or Nepal, a bespoke African safari, or an immersive journey through ancient civilizations and archaeological landmarks, each itinerary is crafted with precision and intention. No two journeys are alike — because no two clients are alike.
Our services are designed for individuals, couples, and small, exclusive groups seeking depth over volume and authenticity over standardization. We combine cultural insight, trusted global partnerships, and meticulous planning to deliver experiences that are seamless, meaningful, and personally transformative. This is not packaged travel. It is travel designed around you — elevated, intentional, and entirely bespoke

After beginning his career alongside his father in the family’s travel business, Salo Smaletz pursued advanced studies in Hospitality and Food Science in the United States, strengthening his operational and strategic foundation. Born in Brazil and raised in a family deeply engaged in international travel, he developed an early global perspective shaped by cultural fluency and enduring relationships.
Fluent in multiple languages and widely traveled, Salo brings a thoughtful understanding of global markets and the expectations of sophisticated clientele.
He later held senior leadership roles in global hotel development at Hilton and InterContinental Hotels Group, leading expansion and luxury brand growth across the Americas.
Today, through Chapter II – Travel and Hospitality, he channels that experience into a focused boutique platform.
Based in Miami, Chapter II designs highly tailored journeys built around each client’s interests — from culturally immersive itineraries and remote landscapes to culinary exploration and private access experiences.
Each engagement is crafted with care, precision, and a deep respect for the individual traveler.
In parallel, Chapter II continues its strategic hospitality advisory practice, advising select luxury ventures on positioning, development, and long-term growth, drawing on decades of experience in global hotel expansion.

Born in Brazil to a modest family of Eastern European immigrants, Marcos, Salo’s father, dreamt from an early age of traveling the world at a time when international travel felt financially out of reach.
Through discipline and determination, he built a respected career in education, earning the trust of students and families while gradually expanding his vision beyond the classroom.
What began as organizing guided educational trips abroad evolved into a broader gateway to the world.
In 1980, Marcos founded Sharontur Passagens e Turismo in São Paulo, establishing a travel company built on relationships, integrity, and personal commitment.
For 37 years, the business operated as a trusted partner for families seeking meaningful and well-structured international travel experiences, closing only with the passing of Marcos.
Chapter II is the continuation of this legacy, carrying forward its values of trust, personal connection, and thoughtfully designed travel into a new and enduring chapter
