Thank you very much!

At the Tourism Renaissance conference new actions emerged that need to be put into practice immediately: specific techniques on how to increase direct bookings; storytelling and emotional marketing strategies with the help of social medias; destination marketing on how to increase the perception of places’ quality; initiatives for a more sustainable tourism, arising more awareness of the environment with the aim of achieving a better balance between visitors and inhabitants. The visionary, inspiring, far-sighted, cutting-edge speakers who joined the event also provided accurate forecasts of what lies ahead in the coming months and a few years to come.

We also got a lot of great feedbacks from the participants. Whether they are owners, travel agents, travelers, the speakers have opened their minds to new perspectives, thanks to new strategies and valuable suggestions to improve the way they relate to tourism. Our speakers encouraged many hosts to create their own brands, and this is essential for a greater freedom and awareness of their business. This is what we all need for the era of Tourism Renaissance!

We are happy that many attendees began to collaborate, they did not know each other before and they met thanks to the event, including some speakers who are now starting working together.

Giovanna Gargano, the Event Director says: “Thank you very much to all of you for participating in this amazing event. Our platform worked flawlessly, there were thousands attending the event: mind-boggling numbers even for those who have been organizing events for years! This is absolutely satisfying and it encourages me to move forward with new exciting projects”.

The most ambitious one is called DARECTLY, which is a new state of mind! It was launched during the Tourism Renaissance event and we do believe that you will hear about it a lot very soon. This neologism is actually a portmanteau of the words “dare” and “directly”.
Are you ready to dare directly?

So we launch an appeal to anyone interested in taking part with insights, articles, short videos, podcasts, and whatever could be impactful for a redesigned tourism industry in which direct bookings are the main pivot.

We call upon all those who have something very interesting to say about tourism (actionable insights are greatly preferred): property owners, hosts, service providers, travel agents, travelers, technology companies, tourism experts.
Please, contact us at info@darectly.com, so that we can start this adventure together. We are confident it will lead us to a tailor-made tourism for all of us who deeply live it!

Thank you all and let’s start a new era of tourism together, darectly!
