In 1994 he became responsible for the tour operator product and contributed together with the airline Viasa to the creation of the Venezuela catalog. As an outgoing manager, he is responsible for carrying out site inspections of the facilities and drawing up contracts for both Europe and Central and South American destinations. In 2002 he began to take an interest in the Business Travel sector and embarked on a new training course that will specialize him in the search for prospect customers, commercial bargaining, technological consultancy, Business Intelligence solutions, consultancy on payment systems and consultancy on cost saving. The complexity of the business travel sector fascinates him so much that he deals almost exclusively with this and he devotes most of his time to personal training to try to intercept the changing needs of business customers and relationships with customers since only by listening to the latter can one guess in which direction the market will go. Nonetheless, he continues to be committed to the front line alongside his colleagues in search of continuous improvement of the service. In order to always provide the highest level of service, in 2016 Alma Travel was able to certify ISO9001 and ISO14001 in a period in which very few agencies had the certifications. But since the passion never ends and the theme of environmental and social sustainability has always been dear to Alma Travel, in 2019 the collaboration with Legambiente begins, which will see our company involved in the Tartalove campaign for the protection of sea turtles. In 2020 he manages to get Alma Travel nominated for the Italian Mission Awards as the best TMC for 40 million euros. In October 2020 he was appointed referent for Lazio of FTO Italy, a new and demanding challenge accepted with pleasure in order to help the category of travel agents in a difficult moment.
