Excellent 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.

Sicilian recipes are the perfect blend of several cultures, whose presence has left peculiar marks on the region. Sicilian Gastronomy "They eat as if they were to die and they build as if they were to live forever". That is what Diogene said talking about the Megaresi of Sicily. The Routes of Wine If three is considered the perfect number, three are also the vertex in which Sicily is enclosed, but seven is the number of Creation... and the number of the wine routes in Sicily. Street Food and Ancient Markets Street food is the term used in order to refer to the typical barrows of Palermo, where it is possible to try different traditional recipes. Those barrows are still present in the whole city... Sicilian traditional recipes Who has never tasted a real Sicilian recipe, or would like to remind the taste of pasta with sardines, sfincione or a cannolo. Here you will find the instructions to prepare sicilian traditional dishes easily by following our recipes. AZIENDE ECCELLENTI ECCELLENZA DONO DI NATURA With its 1500 Km of coasts, including minor islands, Sicily provides different solutions for summer holidays. Beaches, seashores and cliffs Sicilian coasts are made by never-ending, flat and sandy beaches, or small seashores made of pebbles and cliffs; every site is characterized by different color blends such as: ochre, yellow, and grey, there are even beaches black lava colored. The biggest cities provide well equipped beaches that strongly appeal to tourists, among them we can remember: Mondello the main beach of Palermo, characterized by its palm-trees and white sand, in which relevant sport events take place. The Playa of Catania, the coast of San Leone, just outside Agrigento or Fontane Bianche in Siracusa. Famous touristic sites or top beaches of minor islands are quite crowded during high season. These sites are known for the beauty of thin sand, that looks like talc powder, and for the blue colored sea that makes a perfect frame for a spectacular scenery. The Tyrrhenian coasts are composed by astonishing beaches situated between Capo d'Orlando and Patti (Messina), San Vito Lo Capo (Trapani), the small caves of Castelluzzo and the natural reserve of the Zingaro, or long and beautiful beaches of Letojanni and Fiume Freddo, the suggestive beach of Isola Bella close to Taormina. Last but not least the blue colored sea of Cefalù that, with its beaches made of sand and pebbles, leaves tourists breathless.

  • 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.
