Said President Joseph Cassara:

We are deeply concerned about the situation created on Alitalia any. If the negotiations will not be reopened in some way there will be immediate impact on the tourism both for contractual commitments in place for the thousands of people who are abroad and have no more certainty on the day of return to Italy. In this sense, Fiavet now it makes available to all competent authorities offering its cooperation to try to resolve as painless as possible emergencies that arise from a few hours.

Even this year’s World Day of Tourism will be held on September 27 next year. Instituted by ‘OMT (Organization Mondialeper Tourism) held in Peru in Lima and has the theme: “Tourism faces the challenge of climate change.” Even for this year was a photo contest for the best travel photos (hence the regulation). After skipping a few steps to your day.

For lovers of the mountain lived in the city, the meeting is Sept. 28 in Aosta for the fifth edition of “Désarpa”, a word of French-origin Provencal to indicate the return of herds downstream. A real feast cow for the home of fontina. The highlight of the event is the parade of cattle, coupled with events like the collaterati “Désarpa Filme,” film festival dedicated to man and to the territory, scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday before.

The animals arrive at 8 am but the parade begins at 11 from the lawn of Montfleury and reaches up to Porta Pretoria, entry of Roman origin, and then back along the center. The streets of the route will be background music of the municipal band, in typical costumes, holding for the smallest and tasting of the “staple”, ie whipped cream Valdostana.

One can only unleash the imagination because the ten airlines that offer the best first class, offer just everything. According to the ranks of Forbes in fact, about 35 airlines that retain first class in addition to business and all’economy, ten are distinguished by the luxury travel and excellence.

Beyond the standard offer seats that turn into beds genuine, an assistant every 3 passengers (in business the ratio is 1 to 10, 15) and lavish meals, some are emerging. These airlines offer their guests first-class champagne, toiletries kit signed Ferragamo and Bulgari, 7-course meal and exclusive services at the airport.

Among the first in the standings Qatar stand out that, among other things, on board offers caviar and the possibility of sitting at a dining table, as the restaurant; Singapore Airlines offering champagne Dom Perignon or Krug pyjamas and Givenchy. Other stand out for the exclusivity of the airport and for help with boarding.

We are in Salina, the island green Aeolian. And for those who do not know Pollara, the beach is a narrow strip of land at the base of a dormant crater, one of the many of the Aeolian islands. The scenery is impressive, to get there by road, walking on a narrow and steep trail. The beach is from year to year closer because of landslides of rocks of the crater, making it quite crowded in August.

Looking towards the sea, at the far right, there are old buildings set in the rock: they are the shelters for boats of fishermen who remember the stories of Verga dell’800. Among the most exciting experience is certainly be crushed between the wall of the crater and the sea. Another experience that I liked very much was to swim with the mask in the bay. If’ll be careful because the circumference of the crater and you can follow in the company of fish that will accompany your explorations.

Pollara can be reached by renting a motorbike to the port of Salina, is heading north west. When I was myself, now many years ago, the village of Pollara did not offer anything, nor shops or restaurants. The Board therefore is to make the tour trip provided at least good stocks of water.
