We know you are as excited as we are, so here is a little personal service for you from us.

Deborah told us about her career path to becoming the new exhibition director just weeks prior to this year’s event and the most memorable exhibitor stand from the years she has been involved with the ITB. Needless to say we asked her about the infamous afterparties during the week of ITB that take place throughout the city and Deborah shared the craziest moment of her career in working on exhibitions related to the ITB with us.

CHR Case Study: Hotel Il San Pietro di Positano: Strengthening an Extraordinary Independent Brand

It was mid-June 2022 and Vito and Carlo Cinque, two brothers at the helm of the world-renowned Italian 5-star hotel Il San Pietro (ISP) since 1996, had reasons to rejoice. Located in Positano on the Amalfi Coast, south of Naples, their 56-room iconic property was enjoying its best year, as unprecedented numbers of pandemic-exhausted travelers were flocking again to Positano. Charging an average rate of €1,882 each night for a room, the hotel boasted a 99.9% occupancy rate1 and was fully booked until mid-October. This was in stark contrast with the preceding two years during the Covid-19 pandemic, when ISP struggled to keep staff onboard and attract guests as Italy endured a catastrophic drop in tourism.
