Delta Vacations, a leading U.S. provider of world-class, tailored vacation packages, in partnership with Alitalia Vacations, announced today that it is expanding its European footprint and growing its luxury portfolio with new vacation packages for two of Italy's most popular leisure destinations.
Delta Vacations and Alitalia Vacations are now offering travel professionals and their clients vacation packages in Naples and along the Amalfi Coast; and in Pisa, the gateway to Tuscany.
"We are always working to provide the products and services our travel partners need to better serve their clients," said MLT Vacations president John Caldwell. "These new destinations, along with the added deluxe and luxury hotels, give our partners more choices, more flexibility and more opportunity to add value when planning their clients' vacations in Italy."
These additions support Delta Vacations continuing initiative to expand and enhance its European product portfolio for its customers. Italy is one of Delta Vacations top-selling European destinations with strong double-digit growth year-over-year in 2013.
Delta Vacations has initially added 17 properties, including a number of luxury and boutique hotels, to support bookings in Naples and in the Amalfi Coast towns of Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento and the Island of Capri. Three four-star hotels have been added in Pisa.
