The upcoming edition of the SUN Beach & Outdoor Style 2020, from 14 to 16 October at the Rimini exhibition center, includes a large cycle of seminars and conferences. Those dedicated to the world of camping and outdoor tourism are many and interesting, partly organized with the collaboration of FAITA-Federcamping. Here is the complete program of events concerning our sector:
WEDNESDAY 14 OCTOBER
From 10.30 to 11.30 am- Faita Camping Arena – Hall D3
Plein air tourism: marketing strategies to acquire new customers
Speaker: Riccardo Viroli, CEO & Co-Founder CampingVillage.Travel, Titanka Group!
Understanding how outdoor tourism is changing is essential to be able to apply the right marketing strategy aimed at acquiring new customers and building loyalty. Customers are increasingly demanding, and management costs are increasingly higher. With the support of practical examples, this event will therefore analyze the fundamental points on which to focus.
From 12.00 to 1.00 pm- Faita Camping Arena – Hall D3
Revenue Management for campsites and villages: it can be done!
Speaker: Emanuele Nardin, HotelPerformance Director
There are no accommodation facilities for which an effective Revenue Management strategy does not lead to an increase in revenues and an improvement in performance. Campsites and villages can also apply principles to reduce unsold sales, optimize sales rates, successfully disintermediate and increase profits. To achieve these objectives, it is necessary to differentiate from the others with a single product for a defined part of the market.
From 2.30 pm to 3.30 pm – Sisto Neri Room 2 – South Hall
The responsibility of tourism at the time of Covid-19
Responsible tourism faces a period of profound changes, in which the sense of respect for the rules and territories at the time of Covid-19 requires models and best practices, starting with the destinations that have actually worked in this perspective and have already had results in summer.

Camping 4.0 – the future of automation applied to Social Media Marketing for the sale of stays en plein air
Speaker: Marianna Trezza, Head of Development & Social Media Manager Social Più Srl, Titanka Group!
2020 was a crucial year from multiple points of view. In the marketing field, it turned out to be the year that allowed us to understand how little social networks were used to improve communication with our guests, which became crucial during the lockdown period. In this event we discover how the artificial intelligence of social platforms, applied to marketing for open air structures, can allow us to keep multiple communication channels open, increasing direct sales through a personalized path for each individual guest and establishing a communication based on trust and on the relationship with our accommodation facility.
From 1.30 pm to 2.30 pm – Faita Camping Arena – Hall D3
Internal communication for campsites and villages: how to enforce the rules and retain guests with empathy and creativity
Speaker: Martina Manescalchi, Teamwork consultant and trainer
Internal communication, among so many needs and requirements, is always a difficult aspect to face. But it can be transformed into a tool to make the campsite or village even more hospitable and make guests feel welcome and safety. Effective communication, in line with customer expectations and company philosophy, can build guest loyalty, improve reputation and contribute to the brand identity.
