A project he worked on for years that has now become a reality: Qc Terme has inaugurated its New York wellness center on Governors Island. And it is preparing for new initiatives, as told by Francesco Varni, CEO of Qc Terme for development and corporate affairs. “We are pressing the accelerator on projects that the two years of the pandemic had slowed down. Others are in progress, in Italy and abroad. We have resumed scouting in North America and France where we also meet the interest of economic-financial partners for the development of our group beyond the Alps, between Paris and the Ile de France and the Cotè d’Azur ».
As for Italy «in partnership with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, which bought the property, the path that will lead to the revitalization of the Berzieri Baths of Salsomaggiore has begun. Within the year, we will also open the Spa Resort of Palazzo Arzaga, in Calvagese della Riviera on Lake Garda. Other opportunities are on the horizon, including a completely new concept for the group’s headquarters »continues Varni who for this year declares himself optimistic.
«2022 seems to be on an excellent road, after the beginnings compromised by the effects generated by the unexpected Omicron variant – he says -. We are confident in both the wellness and hospitality sectors. According to data from the Ernst & Young Future Travel Behavior Observatory, if in 2021 over 80% of Italians returned to travel for holiday reasons, the intentions declared for 2022 confirm a positive trend: over 60% would return to the same pre-pandemic travel habits and most of the sample (2 out of 3) would stay in Italy to relax and rest. It would seem from these results that the requests of travelers coincide in full with the offers of the wellness tourism sector in which we operate and this coincides with our sensations and our first data ».
