  • Guidaall'ospitalità Italiana Di Qualità
    OSPITALITÀ ITALIANA QUALITY APPROVED Guida all’ Ospitalità Italiana di Qualità in provincia di Novara HOTEL RISTORANTI AGRITURISMO CAMPING Edizione 2009 OSPITALITÀ ITALIANA QUALITY APPROVED Nel biglietto da visita di un territorio spiccano le ricchezze di cui esso dispone: paesaggi, monumenti, storie e tradizioni, prodotti dell’enogastronomia. Queste risorse attirano l’attenzione del visitatore, che le scopre e le percepisce attraverso la qualità della loro offerta. Requisito irrinunciabile per un servizio turistico di prim’ordine è, dunque, l’ospitalità. Consapevole dell’importanza di questo valore, la Camera di Commercio di Novara ha aderito al progetto “Marchio Ospitalità Italiana”, promosso dall’Isnart (Istituto Nazionale Ricerche Turistiche), con l’intento di stimolare un miglioramento continuo dell’accoglienza e del livello qualitativo dell’offerta turistica locale. Questa iniziativa ha trovato ampia rispondenza nella nostra provincia, dove oggi si possono contare ben 116 strutture ricettive insignite della prestigiosa certificazione, di cui 65 ristoranti, 33 alberghi, 10 agriturismi e 8 campeggi. Il riconoscimento del marchio di qualità “Ospitalità Italiana” rappresenta uno strumento di tutela per le esigenze del cliente e, nel contempo, di garanzia per gli investimenti compiuti dalle strutture in termini di servizi ospitali. La pubblicazione di questa Guida, in cui sono riportati tutti gli esercizi pro- vinciali che hanno ottenuto il marchio di qualità 2009, vuole contribuire a diffondere la conoscenza delle eccellenze presenti sul nostro territorio, affinché ogni visita o permanenza nel Novarese possa rivelarsi un’esperienza ricca di soddisfazione. Il Presidente Ing. Gianfredo Comazzi When a territory introduces itself to the public, it shows its reaches: landscape, monu- ments, history and tradition, wine and good food.
