| What has ITC Been Doing with their Time? |
In just the past few months, Intercontinental Travel Company has operated several very successful programs throughout Italy. We assisted one major car company in Lake Como and Florence, while another major car company discovered the appeal of Tuscany in chauffeured sedans. A major manufacturer of building equipment explored Italy from north to south with the unique combination of Venice and the Amalfi Coast, while at the same time, a leading sports and entertainment firm celebrated the histories of Sicily in Taormina and of the Amalfi Coast in Sorrento. But the discovery of Italy did not end there, as we shared the joys of Italy with several other notable companies this fall. |
