Editor's Notes

  1. From a general viewpoint an AD is substantially three things …

  3. This slide portraits the general characteristics of the hospitality model:
  4. ….
  5. In FVG and other italian regions inhabitants are inviting the AD’s guests in their own houses for having dinner toghether. In this way,
  6. The AD is a business opportunity not a development project, in it’s early stage. The former may become a firm if managed correctly by the investors and their partners. The services offered by the AD meet the hotel standards. There is a management unit which e.g. create packages, promotes, coordinates other subjects. Regarding the rooms, they are located in different kind of residences, as for e.g. flats, semidetached houses, detached houses, etc. These residences must be scattered in lo less than two separate and pre-existing buildings.
  7. A single Albergo Diffuso tends to capture easily the interest of the media, the trade and the tourist markets simply causing its (temporary, not permanent) rarity respect to other hospitality models. This means basically that they are more promotion opportunities on traditional and social media spending less. A stronger appeal may be one of its main strenghts, but also the others are important as you can see.
  8. Under a general viewpoint, many opinion makers are trying to describe this innovation both in Italy and abroad. But, what are they saying about the Albergo Diffuso? Unfortunatley, there is a little bit of confusion about it. …. This slide captures a first description of the albergo diffuso given by the Sole 24ore, one of the most famous italian economic newspaper. ….. As you can imagine restored buildings and a common reception area aren’t sufficient to create any innovation….
  9. The AD has been awarded for the good performance achieved by the hospitality model on terms of corporate social responsibility.
