Dear *|FIRSTNAME|*, Italy is OPEN!! Save this list of Waterstone ambassadors for your Italy requests.

Who To Contact For
Your Italy Requests

Dear *|FIRSTNAME|*,

We at Waterstone are so excited about Italy opening up to North American travelers again and we are joined in this excitement by each of the Italian members in our Collection. We of course recognize that there continue to be many challenges relating to the pandemic and know that you and your clients are still navigating a series of questions pertaining to travel overseas, however, doesn’t it feel GREAT to know that you can actually get on a plane and get to our beloved Italy? It sure does.
 
This week we have noticed an uptick in reservation inquiries as travelers and their advisors become more confident that travel to Italy can take place this summer (and beyond). To facilitate your conversations, we thought we would provide you a list of our Waterstone Ambassadors at each property and DMC that we represent in Italy. These ambassadors are your gateway to inquiries and information about their properties and conditions in their destination. We urge you to contact these Waterstone members for assistance. As you well know, each one is a massive supporter of travel advisors. They understand your need for accurate information and should you decide to make a reservation, they will be delighted to look after your clients on your behalf.
 
I take this opportunity to remind you that Waterstone is “distribution channel agnostic” and we are happy to support you however you choose to make a booking. Particularly these days, it is most important that you TRUST your travel partners. You know best how to book your clients. We respect that. All I can say is that we at Waterstone, TRUST the Ambassadors you see below. They have each acted most honorably during the pandemic and I know they will do right by YOU.
 
With great enthusiasm as skies grow brighter each day, I send you my warm regards,
