Welcome Agostino Parii!

Starting from October 2023, the Tourism Connection Team has grown with the arrival of Agostino Pari who will hold the role of sales & tourism consultant.

Agostino boasts decades of experience in the travel industry with roles at I Viaggi del Ventaglio and Italturist as product manager, at Domina Vip Travel as general manager, and product manager for I Viaggi dell’Elefante and Go World. Over the course of his career he has gained a profound knowledge of Africa, in particular the destinations most frequented by Italian tourism, and then the Far and Middle East, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe with a specific focus on Greece and Turkey.

This will allow us to have more time to allocate to our historic Partners but also to develop new destinations and products, including the two nine acquisitions: Ozeroute, an innovative company specialized in transfers to/from Paris airports with exclusive and a cutting-edge booking system and Basilé Travel, one of the main DMCs in Equatorial Guinea, an exclusive and unexplored destination in Central Africa, with pristine white beaches and lush rainforests.

2013-2023 – a Party to celebrate our 10th Anniversary

by Admin Admin Anniversary Tourism Connection

The Tourism Connection® Sales Representative & Marketing project was born on 1 July 2013 with the aim of offering the market an innovative idea of representation and consultancy based first of all on the deep knowledge of the destinations and services offered with total and personalized assistance that truly supports both the client and the client.

And July 12, 2023 at the Le Rovedine Golf Club, on the outskirts of Milan, was the occasion to celebrate the 10th anniversary with over 50 tour operators, suppliers and simple friends who have supported and appreciated the work done over the years.

The green of the golf lawns and the blue of the club-house swimming pool were the perfect setting for this event which was able to combine moments of leisure by offering the participants the opportunity to try their hand on the course thanks to the golf instructors, convivial events that characterized the evening with a rich buffet.

“It was an opportunity to meet all the people who have always supported us so far and who, once again, wanted to show us their trust and affection.

It has been ten years characterized by numerous challenges, in which we have consolidated and expanded our business in an increasingly competitive and profoundly changed market after the pandemic. We will continue to commit ourselves with perseverance and dedication in supporting and strengthening the representations on the Italian territory that have already chosen to collaborate with us.

Not only that, the demand and interest in our country are constantly growing, for this reason our team will soon expand with the entry of a new sales account to be able to guarantee a product and service with high quality standards.”

THE MALDIVES WIN THE 2020 WORLD’S LEADING DESTINATION AWARD

by Alessandro Furlotti Senza categoria Tourism Connection

It was really exciting to learn that the Maldives received the World’s Leading Destination award at the Grand Final of the World Travel Awards 2020 on Nov. 27^th, 2020.

World Travel Awards, established in 1993, is the most prestigious awards program in the global travel and tourism industry recognized globally as the hallmark of industry excellence.

This award is very meaningful, not only because it was the first time that the Maldives received this cob in competition with 22 other major destinations, but above all because it is also recognition of the great efforts made by the whole Maldivian tourism sector – public and private – for the reopening of the destination after the blockade caused by the pandemic.

Today the Maldives are a relatively safe destination and a safe haven for visitors, thanks also to the “one island-one resort” concept. In fact, the whole world of tourism was constantly informed about the security measures and the important procedures in place for tourists, which arrived with the reopening of the borders on 15 July 2020.

As Tourism Connection® we are very proud to represent the international chain The Residence by Cenizaro which is present in the Maldives with two luxurious and renowned resorts: The Residence Maldives Falhumaafushi and The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah and we look forward to welcoming you again and to the soon all the Italian guests.

OUR FIRST 5 YEARS … 1 JULY 2013-1 JULY 2018

by Alessandro Furlotti Anniversary Tourism Connection

The life of a company is made up of many small goals; mostly daily. Very often, it is precisely the latest that determine the possibility of continuing to do better over the years. Our commitment and our passion have allowed us to grow and improve constantly, day after day, even in times when the economic crisis has shown its worst side, taking us today to celebrate the 5th anniversary of our birth.

The history of Tourism Connection begins precisely in 2013, thanks to the will of its founder Alessandro Furlotti, to embark on its own way in the world of tourism hotel representatives, after a decade of experience in one of the most renowned Italian tour operators.

To reinforce this virtuous path, 2015 sees the inclusion in the company organization chart of Maurizio Vergani as Sales Manager. Continuing its innovation process, confirming the dynamism that has always distinguished the company, the management of the press office and Public Relations has been entrusted since 1 September 2017 to Caterina Ravizza Sas, thus proposing a range for the new season complete with integrated communication and marketing mix.

For such an important occasion we could not miss a special birthday celebration with a press conference, which took place in the center of Milan, last July 10th, which we wanted to share with the 10 most important trade media and journalists specialized in the Italian tourist press.

This 10th birthday fills us with pride and satisfaction. In recent years we have grown a lot, we have worked hard, we have brilliantly overcome difficult phases to make sure that the company could start to progressively develop and achieve the current results, both from a qualitative point of view of the services offered, both from the point of view of growth of customers in portfolio.

A special thanks goes to all the customers and partners who supported us during this wonderful adventure, in the wish to lay the foundations for a common future of great successes.

Stay connected on our channels, bi-monthly newsletters, FB and Youtube channel for all the news and for any need, from today we are closer to your needs through our online chat.
