Tours Eccellenza Dono Di Natura ITINERARI ECCELLENTI ECCELLENZA DONO DI NATURA EXCELLENT TOURS ECCELLENZA DONO DI NATURA Eccellenza dono di natura (Gift of the nature) is a brand created by Eskaton International, a company specialized in SME networks and internationalisation, whose main aim is the promotion and the commercialisation of made in Italy products all around the world. The sectors interested are agribusiness, craftsmanship and tourism. Our society absorbs mainly the selection and the coordination of enterprises which adhere to this special “club of excellence”. The intent is to gather high quality companies which are presented under a common brand by a unique interlocutor for potential customers. In addition, we have to remark the existence of a shared trade office which works in outsourcing. This office operates on behalf of all the participant enterprises and integrates itself with the activities conducted by the enterprises and the human resources presented in it. Furthermore, the trade office realises catalogues with our Eccellenza dono di natura brand, and they are provided to buyers, importers and tour- operators, being exhibited during fairs or manifestations being monthly updated with new references. Under request, these catalogues can be personalised with buyers, importers and tour-operators’ logos and can provide for a selection of products or services. Soon, related to the trade office there will be a technological platform with a section dedicated to the e-commerce activity. The platform will be multilingual and will allow the management of the stock, the orders, the payments, the expeditions and there will be an advanced CRM software. If exclusive trade agreements are taken, e-commerce section dedicated to B2C will be available free with logos and references to the distributors. Facebook page is www.facebook.com/Eccellenzadonodinatura. With the contribution of the participant, it represents an efficient tool to come directly into contact with potential customers and to present single activities. Eskaton International founds its own activity with the idea of building a “network” between producers and commercial operators, all partners of a common aim of growth and development. Thank you for the attention. Kind regards.

  • Dream of Calabria and Sicily
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ew2dO7gLIw DREAM OF CALABRIA AND SICILY Esercizi di lingua inglese per studenti universitari di GIOVANNA D’ANGELO Università degli Studi Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria Ufficio Linguistico 0 Introduzione Dream of Calabria and Sicily arricchisce la conoscenza dell’inglese contestualizzando il materiale linguistico in Calabria e in Sicilia. L’eserciziario è stato concepito per gli studenti universitari che hanno necessità di integrare il proprio patrimonio lessicale inglese con il vocabolario più specificamente legato alle dimensioni regionali in cui vivono. Le indicazioni di pronuncia, ove siano fornite, non sono date con i simboli del Sistema Fonetico Internazionale bensì con una translitterazione di massima tra due slash ( /……/). Per il controllo dei significati e della pronuncia live ci si può avvalere di qualunque dizionario italiano-inglese/inglese-italiano con audio consultabile gratuitamente su Internet (ad es. Word Reference). Grazie alle risorse preziosissime offerte sul web da You Tube, l’eserciziario è completo di audio e di contestualizzazioni efficacissime nella realtà. A parte i casi in cui le stringhe dei video si aprono in automatico premendo Ctrl + click, basterà copiarle e incollarle come indirizzi web. Per ragioni didattiche vengono segnalati refusi di trascrizione che comunque sono allenanti sul piano del listening e dello spelling. Comprensibilmente la scelta di alcune località piuttosto che di altre è stata obbligata per la disponibilità di video sul tema. Un’unità di più ampio respiro, l’Unità 6, è completamente dedicata a Reggio Calabria. L’Unità 12 presenta un link singolarissimo ad un glossario enogastronomico audio (italiano- dialetto calabrese – inglese) che è esempio unico al mondo.

In particolare il Porto di Vibo Marina, per le sue caratteristiche tecniche e per i progetti di ampliamento e di potenzia- mento previsti nel prossimo futuro, sin da ora si candida ad essere scalo per le navi da crociera che solcano il Mediterraneo. Per questo, e proprio partendo dal Porto di Vibo Marina, la Camera di Commercio di Vibo Valentia ha inteso ripensare il territorio della provincia in altra prospetti- va, ovvero con gli occhi di chi viene dal mare, a bordo di una nave da cro- ciera o navigando in barca a motore o a vela, e vuole avventurarsi, anche nell’arco breve di un giorno, per scoprire le innumerevoli ricchezze natu- ralistiche, culturali e storiche di questa affascinante terra del Sud d’Italia. È così, rivisitando due lavori in precedenza realizzati dall’Ente,“Il giardino di Proserpina” ed il più recente “I porti della provincia di Vibo Valentia. Discove- ring Vibo Valentia from the sea”, abbiamo voluto proporre il territorio provin- ciale in un’ottica nuova e originale, immaginando come sua porta di ingresso le storiche banchine del porto di Vibo Marina, anche noto come Porto Santa Venere. Nasce allora Cruising Vibo Valentia. Due gli obiettivi immediati: il primo, presentare ai tour operator ed alle compa- gnie di navigazione una nuova possibilità di scalo per piccole e medie na- vi da crociera, in una area ad alta vocazione turistica (ogni anno si registrano oltre 2.000.000 di presenze con oltre il 30% di stranieri) in un porto piccolo ma ben attrezzato ed accogliente che può offrire nuovi sti- moli e nuove emozioni.
