Mauro Santinato, president of Teamwork and developer of the event, affirms” I can only be satisfied with this edition, which brought international excellence to Rimini. After last year’s edition, which took place with a thousand insecurities and the prospect of a new lockdown, this year the atmosphere was definitely more relaxed since the tourism sector, which has struggled so strongly over the last year and a half, is finally starting to see the light again. This year the level of the speakers was very high, as was the quality of the partner companies that supported the initiative. I have been delighted by the high level of enthusiasm and involvement from the tourism professionals who participated, and I am receiving a large quantity of positive feedback. If these results have been achieved after eight years, I can only consider Hospitality Day as a reference point for the Italian hotel industry, working towards the next edition”.
