Elections were held for the renewal of the board of the Visit USA Italy association, resulting in new lifeblood for travel from Italy to the US.

Massimo Loquenzi, former president for 2 terms from 2001 to 2004, had the upper hand. A 91% voter turnout indicated the importance not only of the vote but also of the affection of the members to the association.

The results demonstrated 26 votes in favor of the Loquenzi list and 17 for the Di Bella candidate. The rightful members were 48.

Loquenzi’s team sees Francesco Paradisi of Norwegian Cruise Line as VP, Monica Mocellini of Giver Travel as treasurer, and Nicolò Sessa of American Airlines as adviser. Soon the reserve will be dissolved on the last board adviser.

The external consultants who remain are: Luisa Salomoni of U.S. Commercial Service and Marcella Re of USA Brand Italy.
