Ivana Jelinic will most likely be the next managing director of Enit, the Italian national tourist board.
While waiting for the decree that will officially ratify her appointment, which is expected within five days, the minister Daniela Santanché has sent a letter to the presidents of Federturismo Confindustria, Confturismo Confcommercio and Assoturismo Confesercenti, asking their formal opinion.The appointment is widely seen as a step in the right direction
The first official appearance of the new minister for tourism was at the recent Federalberghi Italian hotel federation’s council. And her first move is a pleasant surprise for the industry. Even taking into account the inevitable limits of action (and budget) of the national tourism agency - especially compared to its international counterparts - the choice of the new Fiavet president, if formally confirmed, is certainly a step in the right direction as it puts at the head of Enit a strong and competent player.
