Alberto Apostoli to Speak at the Exclusive “Travel Hashtag” Event.
The 14th edition of the event dedicated to Tourism and Wellness will be held on 12th November in Sistiana, Trieste.
The most prominent figures in the tourism industry, alongside political, institutional, and business representatives, will gather at the Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Wellness Resort & Spa, a luxury hospitality destination in Trieste, to discuss the latest trends and future prospects of inbound tourism. This prestigious international event, held fourteen times over the past five years across Europe, the United States, and the Middle & Far East, features a mix of thematic talks, plenary sessions, networking opportunities, and business-matching activities.
Alberto Apostoli, architect, designer, and thought leader in Wellness and Hospitality, as well as founder of the eponymous architecture studio, will be a keynote speaker at the opening conference, “Tourism is Wellbeing”, alongside Alessandra Priante, President of ENIT – the Italian National Tourism Agency; Massimo Caputi, President of Confindustria Federterme; Palmiro Noschese, President of Confassociazioni Turismo, Hospitality, F&B; and CEOs, directors, and senior executives from leading organisations in the industry. Apostoli will also participate in the afternoon roundtable, “Wellness & Health Tourism: Trends, Perspectives, and Opportunities”, alongside Bodina Qureshi, Director of Spa and Wellness at Minor Hotels Europe & Americas, and Anna Rita Di Giacomo, Wellness & Spa Advisor and co-founder of Armonia, an integrated consulting firm specialising in wellness, which partners with Apostoli to support wellness facilities and brands.
“I am proud to take part in the 2024 edition of Travel Hashtag alongside important industry professionals, decision-makers, and institutions,” comments Alberto Apostoli, who continues, “The Wellness segment is a key driver that influences inbound tourism flows and, consequently, revenues. It must be considered a fundamental component of the business plan and growth strategies, not only for hospitality facilities but also for the local area. Discussing the potential developments of the Wellness sector here at the Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Wellness Resort & Spa is especially meaningful to me: a few years ago, I was responsible for designing the spa from scratch, overseeing the building’s structure, interior design, and management strategies. It feels like coming home,” concludes Arch. Apostoli.
