To increase hotel business, there is ”Speed Date del Turismo” (Tourism Speed Dating), an eagerly awaited event based on personalized consultation for developing the amount of business generated by one’s hotel. The initiative is promoted by Turismo d'Italia, an official Federalberghi body, in collaboration with Gp.Studios. “Speed Date del Turismo” will be a concrete innovative event that will be held on all the expo days, in which hotel owners will be the key players, receiving suggestions and practical instruments for increasing their business by means of four personalized consultations provided by Gp.Studios’ consultants. The consultations will be preceded by a questionnaire, analyzed by the professionals before preparing the actual personal meeting in order to provide concrete precise replies and advice.
