And that’s a wrap for DUCO Italy 2021! 🇮🇹

I was asked by Design Destinations to share my thoughts on the future of travel…

By Angela Adto

The world has been altered by an unexpected pandemic, but a more vigilant, conscious, and thoughtful traveler has emerged!

Nothing symbolizes our independence more than the ability to roam freely and explore. While optimism for more familiar trips seems imminent, new travel trends have been born. It’s wonderful to see how travelers pivoted with a renewed sense of yearning back to nature and wide-open spaces. Travel pods formed, solo adventure seekers remained creative, and wanderlust enthusiasts discovered countries with open borders.

The past year has been riddled with restrictions, bans, and government regulations, making it nearly impossible to travel. Yet we, The Luxury Travel Industry, continue to persevere by meeting the needs of our travel clients while complying with the onslaught of ongoing changes.

In the coming years, I sense that experiential travel will only garner a greater sense of intrigue. Bucket-list desires will be magnified, health and wellness experiences will not be taken for granted, and longer vacations will be a priority. Covid vaccine availability and an ebbing of the virus's spread are providing comfort and optimism that we've turned that important corner.

Luxury travel is being redefined. It’s no longer simply about having an enriching and meaningful experience; it's doing so with safety assured. The Luxury Travel Industry has navigated the ever-changing landscape of travel guidelines and restrictions and forges on mightily because we have continued to adapt responsibly. If COVID-19 has taught us anything about travel, it’s to explore the world respectfully and with a greater sense of purpose. 🌎♥️

Much gratitude to and for posing the question to luxury travel professionals and for the feature. ♥️😘

Italy, here I come! 🇮🇹

🌍 TRAVEL INFO:
I’ve been invited to attend next month. The DUCO Travel Summit is a high-end tourism event held annually in Florence, Italy. This is an invitation-only event featuring top producers, outstanding hoteliers and suppliers from all over Italy. It promotes the excellence of Italian hospitality to the world’s most important buyers.

With clients traveling to Italy this summer, I’ll have firsthand knowledge and the most up-to-date information for them.

✈️ FLIGHT INFO:
I’ll be traveling on a COVID-tested flight. What are "COVID-tested" flights? These are flights that have been authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health by means of a special ordinance.

Requirements:
Passengers on "COVID-tested" flights are required to:

✈️ Hand in to the carrier a certification attesting to the negative result of the molecular test (RT PCR) or antigenic test, carried out by means of a swab, no later than 48 hours prior to boarding,

✈️ Complete the EU Digital Passenger Locator Form to be shown before boarding.

✈️ Unless vaccinated, take another molecular (RT PCR) or antigen swab test upon arrival at the destination airport. ** NOTE ** for arrival into Rome, you must book your test rapid antigen test in advance (Cost is E20 – debit/credit card only) 

Passengers on these flights, following the above-mentioned protocol, are authorised to enter and transit into the Italian national territory, without having to comply with the obligations of health surveillance and fiduciary isolation.

A heartfelt thank you to the team at and for your continued support. ♥️🥰

1. Covid-tested flights are flights that have been authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health by means of a special ordinance.

2. Passengers on “Covid-tested” flights are required to hand in to the carrier a certification attesting to the negative result of the molecular test (RT PCR) or antigenic test, carried out by means of a swab, no later than 48 hours prior to boarding.

3. Passengers are required to complete the Digital Passenger Locator Form to be shown before boarding.

A moment of reflection...
♥️
Hello from Miraval Austin Resort & Spa, a sanctuary for wellbeing found in the rolling hills overlooking Lake Travis. Here, it’s authentic, low-key, and peaceful. I’m grateful for this moment—the soul-soothing sunshine on my skin, nourishing therapies and activities on the horizon, and a real opportunity to not only reconnect with old friends but to reconnect with myself.
♥️
This month marks one year since the World Health Organization declared that there was a pandemic. There’s renewed hope with the continued distribution of vaccines daily. For those interested in traveling to a safe place that offers the regenerative experiences I describe above, I can’t recommend Miraval properties enough. I’ve been to all three locations: .arizona
