TORONTO — As part of its 90th birthday celebration, the Globus family of brands has reinvented its Italy vacations by showcasing ‘Undiscovered Italy’ for clients hoping to taste la dolce vita with four new ‘off-the-beaten-piazza’ tours, and nine tours featuring lesser-known destinations.
Kim Clarke, Director of sales for Canada for the Globus family of brands, sales to Italy are up significantly year over year.
“There’s so much to see and do in Italy,” says Clarke. “From the African-influenced cuisine of Sicily to the picture-perfect hills of Tuscany, it’s almost many countries in one.”
