ACTIVE ITALY TRIPS

This week I am at a virtual trade conference for Italy.  What does this mean?  It means that I meet with suppliers from Italy online on Zoom.  I learn about new properties, new suppliers, new destination management companies, and more.  Today, I had the pleasant experience of meeting with Dolomite Mountains.  This is a destination management company, and they work with travel advisors (like me) to curate amazing experiences in their “country”. I cannot wait to share some of these amazing ideas for active travelers or skiers!

This secret Bologna experience has stayed on top of our minds every time we think of Italy.
