“For 10 years, Global Gsa has been alongside travel agencies and tour operators, providing daily support through a highly qualified help desk and an operational sales team in the territory,” said Manlio Olivero. “We chose to celebrate this important milestone with a series of events that allowed us to strengthen ties with our partners and present the latest news from the brands represented.”
This concept was also echoed by Patrizia Ribaga, managing director of Global Gsa: “Relationships are at the heart of our market approach. We want to offer excellent support to agencies, with a team of professionals and a range of products and services of absolute value.”
Having firmly established itself over the years, Global Gsa closes 2023 with growth exceeding 20% compared to 2019, which was already an exceptional year.
