Renew, get back in the game, set a new course. Dimsi, a Sicilian company, founded in 1985 and deeply rooted in the world of hôtellerie and incoming tourism, has consolidated its position as a leader among Sicilian tour operators over the last decade. This can be attributed to Julian Zappalà, the enterprising scion of the industry who, in 2014, took on the challenge of reshaping the company's destiny.

Now general manager of Dimsi Incoming Operators - Dimensione Sicilia, Zappalà shares his perspective on the company's evolution: "My team and I embarked on a journey of rejuvenation, crafting a forward-looking, digital, and smart project. We specialize in curating tailor-made travel experiences, personalized to the dreams and desires of our clients. Sicily, with its multifaceted beauty, serves as the canvas for our adventures."
Indeed, Dimsi offers an array of unique experiences, from sharing a meal with a Sicilian family to sensory escapades and adventurous activities on the awe-inspiring Mount Etna which is Europe’s most active volcano. They also offer exclusive boat charters to the Aeolian Islands, each experience custom-crafted to meet the client's vision. "Specializing in bespoke travel itineraries for groups and individuals, thematic tours, luxury travel, incentive trips, and conferences, we serve a global clientele with unmatched competence, professionalism, and enthusiasm," Zappalà affirms.
The core mission of Dimsi Group is to transform traveling into an unforgettable experience on Italy’s second-largest island. “Among our signature offerings the guided tours under the Sicilian Secrets brand have weekly departures and diverse itineraries. They can also be combined with other splendid regions of southern Italy, such as Puglia and Campania as well as with the Amalfi coast, Lazio, and even Malta. Dimsi's repertoire extends to eco-tours with rental cars, self-drive adventures, gulet cruises to the Aeolian Islands, and a plethora of holiday ideas catering to every traveler's needs and preferences.”
