The IACCSE starts new projects to promote tourism in Italy
Last year over 14 millions US citizens visited Italy. USA is the second top country in number of visitors to Italy, after Germany.
The Italian Chambers of Commerce network is often in the forefront in the promotion of Italy as a destination.
Our Chamber in Miami has recently confirmed two new partnerships: the first one with Amalfi Coast Convention Bureau (www.altacostiera.com) to promote MICE tourism to iconic destinations such as Ravello, Positano or Sorrento and the second one with Fidenza Village Outlet (https://www.tbvsc.com/fidenza-village/it ) to promote US Luxury Shopping tourism in Parma’s area. The city of Parma has been nominated Italian Capital of Culture for the year 2020.
If you are an American tour operator with a specialist interest on these two destinations, please contact us at info@iacc-miami.com to learn more about these two projects and to participate to our fam trips to Amalfi Coast and Parma planned both for spring 2020.

Enomatic’s Technology for the Largest Winebar in the World
by Enomatic USA
Enomatic, known for being the industry leader in wine dispensing and preservation systems, has been a prime partner of The Wine Room on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida, proud recipient of Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence and early adopter of self-serve wine dispensers back in 2006.
Following the success of their first wine bar and retail store, the innovative collaboration between Enomatic and The Wine Room continue for their second location in Delray Beach, Florida. We are proud to be part of this amazing new project that is now the largest wine bar in the world. Thanks to Enomatic’s technology, guests can enjoy 216 wines offered in taste, half and full glass portions, preserved for 30+ days in perfect conditions. This self-serve concept is the best way to discover wines without having to commit to the purchase of an entire bottle, while providing a fun and social experience.
The Wine Room Delray Beach is also a restaurant with a full lunch/dinner menu and features a rare-wine room with about 2,400 bottles of wine. Artisan’s cheese, meats, and 600 to 700 bottles of wine are available for purchase in the retail section.
As any bar or restaurant owner can attest, serving wine by pouring straight from the bottle increase waste and reduce efficiency. However, with Enomatic’s systems, serving wine is made easy and efficient while giving the best experience to guests and showcasing the finest bottles. The self-serve operation and pour control increases the performance of the bar, allowing the bartender behind the bar to focus on other aspects that decrease wait time and increases the business’ ROI.
Taste is a critical factor with wine and our wine dispensers ensure that the taste of each pour is of the highest quality.
