Getting by with a little help from GEP friends…

It was a great idea. Transport the VIP client to an Olympic venue on board a private train. The trip was at first confirmed and then temporarily cancelled by the Italian Railways Company. Disappointed but prepared, Newtours arranged an alternative road trip. Then just a couple of days before the event, the Italian Railways unexpectedly authorized a slot on the train route. At that point, Newtours no longer had a train available.

“Here comes the power of partnership, the assistance of business friends and the opportunity to count on top level professionals,” reports an appreciative Giuseppe Lepri, Newtours president. “Promptly Conventus and Panorama Tours, Swiss and Austrian partners, started searching a valid solution and within an incredibly short period of time they succeeded in finding what we were looking for.”

“I feel extremely proud of this partnership, because the true meaning of our collaboration is to support each other not only to reach our goal but to share our worlds.” Giuseppe continued, “I am really grateful for their hard work and efforts and I want to share this proof of the great importance and priceless value of being GEP partners.”

The partnership helped not only Newtours but also the client who enjoyed a special journey to the Olympics.
