Your clients. Your relationship.
Our Italy.
Zest partners with travel advisors and agencies looking for reliable local expertise throughout Italy. We design journeys around the individual traveler rather than adapting clients to predetermined itineraries. Hotels, private transportation, licensed guides, experiences, tickets, special access and day-to-day logistics can all be brought together into one seamless journey.
Download the PDFOur role can begin with a single service or extend to the complete management of a multi-destination itinerary. Whether we operate under your brand, alongside it or directly with your client, the level of involvement is defined around the way you prefer to work.
The brief
We usually start from a clear brief: dates, destinations, arrival and departure points, number and ages of travelers, interests, preferred pace, accommodation style and indicative budget.
The itinerary
From there, we build the itinerary with the advisor, make the necessary adjustments and coordinate bookings and logistics from one destination to the next.
In Italy
During the planning stage we are available by phone, video call and email. Once the clients are in Italy, our assistance number is available 24/7 for the services we have arranged.
