Villanova Monteleone wins the "Borghi" tender and chooses smart tourism

Villanova Monteleone is one of the eight Sardinian municipalities to have won a substantial loan under the Borghi tender. About one million and 600 thousand euros to create a large hotel spread across the town of 2000 inhabitants. A project focused on the transformation of the locality into a "smart destination" through the enhancement of material and immaterial wealth and the strengthening of the entrepreneurial and managerial skills of the local productive fabric.

"For this reason, the project manager and community manager of Airbnb for Sardinia, Massimo Cossu, found it natural to host the first live regional event for training the network's hosts right in Villanova Monteleone", explains the mayor Vincenzo Ligios.

The appointment is for Saturday 29 April, starting at 3 pm, in the Isola Pavilion, in Villanova Monteleone, where the workshop moderated by Giuseppe Salis, project designer, entitled: "Sardinia Rural Village - How to regenerate villages" will take place. Industry experts will provide the tools to understand how to make the most of your membership in the Airbnb network.

The mayor of Villanova Monteleone, Vincenzo Ligios, immediately accepted Airbnb's proposal as the workshop fits well with the aims of the "Borghi" project in the starting phase. «An unmissable opportunity that our Administration immediately fully embraced, first of all to let citizens touch the potential offered by our widespread hospitality project, furthermore to offer visitors a welcoming country ready to accept the opportunities offered by this sector".
