Venice, 29 June. (askanews) – A project that is growing and wants to be rooted in an idea of Venetianness that cannot be taken for granted. Ca’ di Dio, a hotel part of the VRetreats collection by VOIHotels, has earned its place in the city’s tourist offer and has continued to work on its own precise identity. We tried to take stock with general manager Christophe Mercier. “We can say – explained Mercier to askanews – that after almost three years of opening the results both in terms of quality, happiness of our guests, collaboration with our associates and from a financial point of view, we can say that it is a success Naturally after three years a new cycle starts again, as we are seeing for the catering part and obviously for the rooms part, we are stopping implementing new projects, new ideas to rightly go on to increasingly capture a part of the market that we still don’t have today. still caught.”
However, the idea of Ca’ di Dio’s hotel business also goes beyond Venice in the strict sense and, both in terms of relationships with local products and with places in the lagoon, looks to a broader perspective. “To date – added the general manager, also referring to the city’s tourism promotion policies – the project that we do with the Botanical Tour, for example to take our guests to the Lagoon, has not been developed. That is, we always think of Venice on this small fish, no, the one we see well from above, which ultimately is too small in high season and will be too large in low season, because the peaks are in high season. And equally the lagoon, and there we start up Murano, Torcello, Murano, the whole part of Rio Piccolo, that is, there is a huge world of beauty that could be discovered.”
A world that is part of the profound nature of Venice, which explains it in an even better way than San Marco and other places that have become global icons. And thinking in terms of enlarging spaces is also a possible and sustainable strategy to deal with mass tourism which sometimes seems to suffocate the city.
