Repeat customers often want to bring friends or family back to Italy and want something special. Newlyweds often include a tour of the romantic Amalfi Coast near Naples with their other honeymoon travel plans. The company also offers rental properties. Even with the company's North American office headquartered in The Big Onion, Edmonton provides few clients. The majority of our clients are actually from the U.S.,'' Marie says.
More distant customers come from as far afield as Brazil, Belize and Australia.
We started this company with zero capital and a zero advertising budget,'' says Marie. Marie usually goes to Italy in November, takes in a tour, does a quality control check on hotels and generally re-acquaints herself with the product she sells. But she's developed a fondness for Edmonton, her home of 16 years. I love Edmonton. I think it's a great place to live and a a highly underrated city.
