Oh, and one last thing—if it’s not your 25th, it might be your 15th… or your 50th… or, honestly, who’s even counting at this point? 🎉 But if you remember attending a wedding in the year 2000, maybe forward this email—especially to that one friend who mysteriously forgets anniversaries but can recall every World Cup score since 1970. 🤔😉

Dear Travelers,

Yesterday was nothing short of spectacular! My team and I were privileged to join an exclusive gathering alongside our esteemed partners at Trenitalia Gruppo Ferrovie della Stato celebrating their remarkable collaboration with Lonely Planet Italia we have to say that we were deeply moved by their steadfast commitment to a sustainable future, marked by their significant investments in next-generation trains that greatly reduce CO₂ emissions, making travel more eco-friendly than ever before.

Trenitalia has been innovating in technology for quite some time; they are also leading the way in off-the-grid tourism, crafting new train routes that connect travelers to Italy's hidden hamlets. This initiative aligns seamlessly with Selected Tours Italy’s mission: to offer journeys that go beyond the iconic cities of Venice, Florence, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast, introducing our travelers to exclusive gems that were once elusive.

Our day was further enriched by a visit to Fondazione FS Italiane historical archives, which date back to the 1880s, showcasing a rich heritage that resonates with history enthusiasts. As I wandered through these storied halls in Villa Patrizi, a wave of excitement washed over me at the thought of deepening our collaboration with Fondazione FS Italiane to open these remarkable archives to our guests. This initiative promises to offer an unparalleled glimpse into Italy’s railway history—an experience that will undoubtedly captivate train enthusiasts and history lovers alike.

I would also like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Maria Giaconia for her unwavering dedication in fostering numerous collaborations and initiatives. Her passion for developing new train routes is truly inspiring. In a country where actionable plans can often be overshadowed by endless discussions, witnessing tangible progress is a genuine honor.

Moreover, while some may view Lonely Planet's style as primarily appealing to the younger generation, at Selected Tours Italy, we wholeheartedly embrace travelers of all ages. We offer a wealth of experiences tailored for both the young adventurers eager to explore our new initiatives thanks to these new routes and the more seasoned travelers seeking hidden gems. Our curated journeys include the best off-the-beaten-path experiences, and we handle all bookings, alleviating decision fatigue and allowing you to relax and fully immerse yourself in Italy's breathtaking landscapes.

Of course we can not deny that indeed, Italy faces its challenges—this year has brought its share of delays and strikes. However, I remain optimistic that these issues will soon be resolved and I am confident that significant efforts are underway to restore stability, allowing us to ensure reliable routes for our clients and provide smooth, memorable journeys.

You all know that we are wholeheartedly committed to keeping our travelers informed about the latest developments in everything that is happening in Italy. We understand how crucial it is for you to have up-to-date information, especially in a dynamic travel environment. Our dedication ensures that you are always aware of the current situation, including any travel disruptions, local events, or changes in regulations, allowing you to make informed decisions for your journey.

Now, for those still on the hunt and paniking for the perfect Christmas gift, we have an exciting idea! Why not treat your loved ones to an extraordinary Interrail route through Italy's hidden gems? With Selected Tours Italy as your local tour operator, we’ll take care of all the details, ensuring a fun and seamless experience. Imagine exploring charming villages and breathtaking landscapes while we handle all logistics and bookings — simply put, the perfect christmas gift!

Contact us at [email protected], and let us help you embark on an unforgettable journey to explore Italy sustainably and beautifully with a team that knows this incredible country inside and out!
Warmest regards,
Ana

Your Local Italian Travel Team!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 event held at the majestic Palazzo Brancaccio in Rome, was incredible, really a profound honor to be among such an exceptional assembly of dedicated professionals passionate about showcasing the beauty and sustainability of our land.

From the moment the event commenced, the atmosphere was electric with enthusiasm and commitment. I found myself completely engrossed, attending one inspiring conference after another. The speakers eloquently addressed a myriad of topics, innovative ideas and heartfelt insights on sustainable travel, seamlessly intertwining environmental stewardship with our daily lives. It was impossible not to be moved by the collective passion and vision shared throughout the sessions.

One of the most compelling aspects of the event was the deep reverence for the Italian spirit and the unwavering respect for artisanal craftsmanship. The discussions highlighted the critical importance of preserving traditional skills. Hearing the dedication to supporting and honoring these crafts was truly inspiring. It underscored the belief that nurturing these professions is not only about sustaining our heritage but also about empowering the younger generation to pursue their passions with pride and integrity.

A special commendation must go to for his impeccable hosting, management, and leadership in orchestrating one of the most exclusive and impactful events of the year. His vision and dedication were evident in every detail, from the historical grandeur of 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗼 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗼 to the seamless flow of the program. The venue itself, with its rich history and elegant architecture, provided the perfect backdrop for such a transformative gathering.
EcoLuxury is not just an event; it is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with a shared vision and unwavering dedication. Together, we have the power to create meaningful change, honor our traditions, and inspire the next generation.
In my journey as an incoming tour operator in italy, it can be very challenging to offer 100% sustainable travel options for many reasons, but we are committed to making the greatest impact we can.

Here's how at my company brings some Sustainability and Potential Impact to life. I hope it inspires my readers,

Inspiring Respect for Italy: We encourage our travelers to fall in love with our beautiful country, fostering a deep respect for its culture, history, and environment.

Supporting Local Communities: We collaborate with local businesses and artisans, ensuring that tourism benefits the people who make Italy so special.

Promoting Sustainable Practices: Whenever possible, we recommend eco-friendly accommodations, transportation, and experiences that minimize environmental impact.

Creating Meaningful Stories: We help our travelers weave their own stories into the rich tapestry of Italy, building connections that last a lifetime.

Being a Team with Heart: We embody grit, love, strength, and determination. Together, we are more than colleagues—we are a family dedicated to making a positive difference.
