From March 18-22, 2024, the sixth edition of DUCO Travel Summit Italya high-level event was held in Milan, Italy, promoting the excellence of Italian hospitality to the world’s most important buyers, thanks to the collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, Milan & Partners and MonteNapoleone District. DUCO is an invitation-only event attended by 256 of the Bel Paese’s leading hospitality professionals and 295 of the industry’s top experts, including consultants, travel agents and influencers.
“DUCO is discovery. DUCO is immersion. It was born from a passion for cultural exploration and understanding of this magnificent country: Italy” This is the payoff of the 2024 event. The theme “Around Italy” evoked DUCO’s deep roots, exalting the craftsmanship and culinary authenticity that characterize the Bel Paese.
Alongside DUCO in the realization of the event was the “Aimo e Nadia Milano” group, which for years has embodied the themes of Italian craftsmanship, quality and sustainability; as well as being one of the gastronomic signatures that has represented Italian cuisine of excellence for more than 60 years.
Chefs Alessandro Negrini and Fabio Pisani, along with other star chefs such as Chef Raffaele Lenzi of Il Sereno, Chef Claudio Sadler of Casa Baglioni Milan, and Chef Antonio Guida of Mandarin Oriental Milan created the gastronomic proposal for the star-studded opening dinner of DUCO at Rubattino56 along with the launch of the highly anticipated Dolce Vita Train.
Wines were provided by Belle Vite to introduce four of Tuscany’s most esteemed wine producers, Fattoria Le Pupille, Petrolo, Tolaini and Tua Rita.
