A nation brand is the sum of people’s perceptions
of a country across such areas as culture, heritage, governance,
tourism, people, etc. Italy is undoubtedly one of the most loved
and admired nations, despite a general mistrust of its politicians
and public servants, and a perception of several negative elements
within the brand: corruption, organised crime and a generally disorganised
society. But because the country is effortlessly and almost universally
associated with quality of life, impeccable style, and cultural
riches, Italy will always score very high as a nation brand.
The popular image of Italian people, who are so friendly, attractive
and fun-loving, has recently be enriched by a long list of sports
achievements, the latest of which is rugby. The two wins in this
year’s Six Nations Tournament are just an addition to the successes
in the Football World Cup, and such champions as Valentino Rossi,
or the general high standard of basketball and volleyball, or swimming,
rowing, sailing, skiing contribute to make Italy a country where
to take a team on a sports tour.

SECURITY NOTICE
Many "companies" have recently started
organising sports events, but they really also provide transport
and accommodation for visiting groups and teams.
They have no title to do that, since
they are not licensed to act as Travel
Agents or Tour Operators. As a result a tour, which should be the
core of a time of enjoyment and enthusiasm for a whole group, may
turn into a nightmare because of lack of insurance cover and tax
problems.
It is our duty to warn against this sort of risk:
only licensed Tour Operators and Travel Agents are allowed to fully
organise a sports tour, which includes transfers, accommodation,
sightseeings, friendly games, meals, etc.
Cavalier Travel is provided of a
licence (n° 204, released by the Italian Tourism Authority,
prot. 4681) and insurance policy (n° 159768 by Mondial Assistance
Italia Spa).
In addition Cavalier Travel always requires a Health & Safety Statement
from its suppliers, so that our clients can travel safely.
