ACI blueteam was recently honored with the “Highest Annual Growth: Hotel” award at the Virtuoso Regional Awards. What does this achievement represent for you?
“This award is a powerful confirmation of our positioning as a provider of excellent service,” explains Federica Bombelli. “It’s a recognition of the value we place every day on delivering quality, paying attention to every detail, and building strong relationships with our partners. We are especially proud to have been awarded in the Continental Europe category, within an exclusive network like Virtuoso, which brings together the top global players in luxury travel.”
Growing in the luxury hotel segment is a complex challenge. In your view, what were the key factors behind such significant growth?
“Our growth is built on three fundamental pillars: strong partnerships, continuous focus on customer needs, and the passion that has always driven our work,” says Bombelli. “It’s an evolution rooted in our company’s history, developed alongside a clientele that has always been closely linked to the luxury segment. It’s the result of a daily team effort—professional and always striving for service excellence.”
Being part of the Virtuoso family is a prestigious recognition. How does this partnership translate into tangible value for your clients?
“Being a Virtuoso partner means being able to offer exclusive advantages and real benefits: room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, property credits, VIP treatments, early check-in, and late check-out,” explains Bombelli. “But above all, it represents a globally recognized guarantee of quality, allowing our clients to enjoy truly extraordinary and personalized travel experiences.”
ACI blueteam’s international positioning is another key strength. As an Italian company, what do you bring to a global network like Virtuoso?
“We bring what makes us unique: tailor-made service, attention to detail, flexibility, and that distinctly Italian sense of beauty,” says Bombelli. “We do this through an international approach and ongoing dialogue with our global counterparts, creating added value that enriches not just our company, but also our clients.”
After this recognition, what are the next steps for ACI blueteam in the luxury travel world? Can you share any upcoming projects?
“We’re planning new collaborations with selected properties and will continue to invest in scouting for partners who can offer authentic experiences. We’ll focus on a concept of sustainable hospitality—respectful of the environment and supportive of local communities,” concludes Bombelli. “Our goal remains the same: to grow without ever losing sight of the quality and attention to detail that define who we are.”
ACI blueteam continues to establish itself as a key player in the international luxury travel scene, driven by a clear strategic vision, solid partnerships, and a unique ability to anticipate the evolving needs of high-end travelers.
