We are WATA so forth our duty is to operate with WATA Agencies!!!!  Our usual service provider in Brazil hasn’t done anything wrong but at least we should request quotes to the 2 of them!!! I am operating a group to Guatemala with Mr Fernando Betanzos from Wata México and everything is going very well!!!! Please don’t forget! I wouldn’t like to say it twice!   A big hug!

“The advantage to be WATA members are indeed very important one and for various reason.  First of all because WATA is recognised all over the world as one of the best and most respectable organisation.  All the members of WATA are selected under a code combine of various requirements.   Being a full member I have to praise the head office for the hard and very professional work.   The coordination of all selected WATA members from the head office makes all of us to know each other well and this has create a huge potential between us members to exchange business in confidentiality and trust.   The members are aware  n a regular basis about  what each member has to offer as product and services. I have found that WATA has a great deal of potentiality to create and generate more business via all members and also providing excellent information.  And further more it is an organisation fully active and professional I do recommend WATA  all the way”

 “WATA has given us the opportunity to be informed of the trends in the industry, including regions unfamiliar to us.  Additionally, in working with WATA we can verify commercial references of companies interested in doing business for the first time with our company.” 


 v      Marc Dans, Brussels International Travel Service, Belgium 
“I know something: working myself on my marketing data-base, month after month, I see that every month I am receiving requests from all over the world, from people I never met, I never exchanged mails with, I never approached by any mean. But they found me because I am VISIBLE, and they contacted me because thanks to my membership,  I look important and CREDIBLE. And I am convinced that WATA highly contributes to my visibility and my credibility, because the name is still known, it has a history, a reputation. You cannot buy a QUALITY LABEL from any new association. This is the way I do my business.   And if on top of that I meet nice and interesting people from the world, I make new friends, and I get new emotions, then I am more happy, and you know what? I still get more business. »

“Strange in this cold world of business, but this is what I felt when I first met with the WATA members back in 2005 in Brussels: I was welcome with a very touchable warm by all participating members and since then I would never miss our WATA General Assembly held once a year. But of course it’s not only a question of comfortable feeling, I can also say that since our agency is a WATA member we have improved a lot in terms of business opportunities. Either among members but also from outsiders companies thanks to the staff dedication spreading our news and offers to a very large database regularly. It is a powerful link that we have created and I hope, for life. The WATA logo and what it represents is very strong: still nowadays back to the old system – the WATA Directory, some agencies in the world will look for you if you have this logo attached to your company because they know they can trust you and your company, either for your quality of services or your reliability and honesty. Another good feeling…  

v      Mr Barocchi,  Caf Tours, Florence-Italy 
“To be a WATA  member is an asset because you have not only the chance to improve your business but also to know and work together with a lot of reliable partners with whom you can discuss about daily problems and issues regarding tourism market and its continuous changes.  When you enter the WATA association, you discover a wider tourism view, sharing experience and competence with your new partners from all over the world.  Furthermore, customers feel more confident in choosing your services as they recognize in the WATA logo a worldwide symbol of reliability and professionalism.”

Congratulations to Scala International Milan

 
We recommended Scala International Milano for 2 groups from Brazil during the World Soccer;  these were extensions.  Instead of working with them directly, we passed on the complete file to Scala.  Our customer  was very very happy with their services. -  Brigitte Trenner, Weichlein Tours & Incentives Munich

 

1957/1958 : DUCATI / WATA WORLD TOUR

30 settembre 1957 - 5 settembre 1958 : WATA - VIAGGI SALVADORI gave support all over the world through WATA network to the two Ducati bikers Giorgio Monetti and Leopoldo Tartarini that were making the world tour on motorbike 175 cc.

Mr. Tartarini started out as a passionate riding enthusiast who participated in and won several motorcycling races and been acknowledged as one of Ducati’s leading racers of all time. Tartarini's passion for riding was not limited to the races. His most remarkable motorcycling achievement was when he decided to drive his Ducati 175 around the world. Accompanied by his friend Giorgio Monetti, the duo travelled around the world, sixty thousand kms in all, in one year. They travelled through 42 countries including India, Australia, New Zealand, South America, North Africa and through Europe; encountering numerous adventures along the way: a fight over women in a bar in Singapore, being mugged in the desert on the way from Iran to Iraq, and so on. As a reminder of his long distance feat, Tartarini today smokes the same brand of tobacco he first enjoyed in Chile during that very trip, and still owns the bike he did it on.

Ducati is a brand well known all over the world and this year they are going to print a book with the story of this tour. Of course Viaggi Salvadori and Wata will be part of the story!
