Argentina is a majestic territory, rich in great traditions and people who are very fond of the Italian Dolce Vita and our products.

Connect2Italy was born from the entrepreneurial idea of ​​creating an exclusive club of professionals in the tourism and hospitality sector. To synergistically connect a professional network of operators and entrepreneurs in the sector, such as the many Italian excellences and international buyers of services in Italy, within a digital and interactive platform reserved for members of the initiative.

Mario Cavasotto is the owner of the Lloyd Transatlantico - Voy company for El Mundo in Buenos Aires and knows Italy well, speaks Italian and has been involved in travel, conferences, events and MICE for many years. He was the protagonist in Milan during Expo 2015 and here he met Alessandro Mancini, current founder of Mancini Worldwide and Connect2Italy.

"Connect2Italy aims to revolutionize the concept of" travel", gathering, promoting and marketing unique tourist proposals, for those who love the authenticity and exclusivity of their experience, combined with a service at the highest levels provided by professionals who represent excellence in their sector and in the geographic areas of competence" comments Alessandro Mancini, creator of Connect2Italy.

Italy is not just Dolce Vita, it is made of traditions such as spending a day with a shepherd, milking milk, and making cheese. This is the Italy of experiences! Mario

"I met Alessandro Mancini during the Expo in Milan in 2015 and since then we have kept in touch, when he told me about this new platform I realized that it was my new opportunity to enter the Italian market, even the niche market. During BIT 2020 I was introduced to several Italian companies, and I have already signed valid contracts to let our Guests experience the magic of Italy". Adds Mario Cavasotto connected via Skype.

“On the C2I platform I am meeting various TOs selected by the platform itself, I have held Skype meetings with operators from Tuscany and Veneto in the last two weeks. Regions highly appreciated by our target travellers. Of Italy we obviously love food, culture, venues and the whole sector related to Mice (acronym for meetings, incentives, congresses, events). Working on Connect2Italy, at any time of day or night you are the protagonist and there are no commissions".

Mario speaks perfectly Italian and English and the new Connect2Italy platform greatly appreciates the speed with which he receives feedback from the Tour Operators and from the work team who follows him from the C2I virtual office: search for contacts and products, quotation, feedback with approval or not in a few hours. This is a great saving of time and energy for him.

Connect2Italy was born from the continuous stimulus that Mancini Worldwide has received over the years both from international operators, always looking for new travel solutions to differentiate themselves from competitors, from Italian tourism realities, suffocated by intermediaries and forced to homologate their accommodation offer in order not to be "out of the market", but above all by international travellers, who every year choose Italy as their favourite destination for their travels, in search of a unique authenticity, among the peaks of the Dolomites, the Langhe vineyards, the beauties of Florence and the panoramas of Sorrento.

"I like Italy ... a lot and on this platform, I am discovering a new Italy, off the beaten track. For example, it made me crazy to be able to follow a shepherd in making cheese and to be able to bring it to my house here in Argentina”, underlines Mario Cavasotto. 

“In life you can get anything you want if you help other people

to get what they want! "

The mission behind C2I is to bring together international operators and owners of Italian tourism services and products of excellence, supporting relationships so that business opportunities are created between the operators themselves and the platform thus acts as a contact point enabling operators themselves and a showcase for the professionals who are part of it.

“After this terrible emergency due to Covid-19 we have a desire for new business, my company is also evolving a lot. For example, we are doing a huge upgrade and dividing Incoming and Outgoing. It is an excellent moment of growth, and we want to be protagonists "

We wish all International Tourism to experience a new Upgrade as Mario did, with new experiences, and new business, without commissions on Connect2Italy.
