ECCELLENZA DONO DI NATURA
EXCELLENT TOURS ECCELLENZA DONO DI NATURA
Eccellenza dono di natura (Gift of the nature) is a brand created by Eskaton
International, a company specialized in SME networks and internationalisation, whose
main aim is the promotion and the commercialisation of made in Italy products all
around the world.
The sectors interested are agribusiness, craftsmanship and tourism. Our society absorbs
mainly the selection and the coordination of enterprises which adhere to this special
“club of excellence”. The intent is to gather high quality companies which are
presented under a common brand by a unique interlocutor for potential customers.
In addition, we have to remark the existence of a shared trade office which works in
outsourcing. This office operates on behalf of all the participant enterprises and
integrates itself with the activities conducted by the enterprises and the human
resources presented in it. Furthermore, the trade office realises catalogues with our
Eccellenza dono di natura brand, and they are provided to buyers, importers and touroperators, being exhibited during fairs or manifestations being monthly updated with
new references. Under request, these catalogues can be personalised with buyers,
importers and tour-operators’ logos and can provide for a selection of products or
services.
Soon, related to the trade office there will be a technological platform with a section
dedicated to the e-commerce activity. The platform will be multilingual and will allow
the management of the stock, the orders, the payments, the expeditions and there will
be an advanced CRM software. If exclusive trade agreements are taken, e-commerce
section dedicated to B2C will be available free with logos and references to the
distributors.
Facebook page is www.facebook.com/Eccellenzadonodinatura. With the contribution
of the participant, it represents an efficient tool to come directly into contact with
potential customers and to present single activities.
Eskaton International founds its own activity with the idea of building a “network”
between producers and commercial operators, all partners of a common aim of
growth and development.
Thank you for the attention.
Kind regards.

The art, the landscapes, the traditions, the history of the Vibo Valentia area meet the Mediterranean Diet.
A journey of emotions through smells, tastes, sounds, healthy lifestyle of our lands. In 1957 the American epidemiologist
Ancel Keys came with his medical-scientific team, in Nicotera, a small town on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, which
belongs to that section called "Coast of the Gods", to give the boot to studies, that would confirm his brilliant theory on the
close relationship between eating healthy and feel good.
Keys called the Mediterranean Diet "food systems of the Mediterranean people," referring to an extremely ancient history
which influenced all the peoples of this area; history of discoveries, civilizations, changes of languages and cultures, meeting
and exchange of food and culinary traditions that, in their interaction, gave birth to a new knowledge.
In November 2010 UNESCO has inscribed the Mediterranean diet in the list of intangible cultural heritage calling it a social
practice based on skills, knowledge, customs and traditions concerning the landscape, the history, the cuisine, the
cultivation of food, the fishing, the collection, storage, processing and consumption of food of the Mediterranean people.
The Mediterranean diet is the only nutritional model in the world capable of expressing the lifestyle of a people and is
therefore culture and art in the same way of artworks and monuments.
Cultural approach also means fairness in the food production, distribution and consumption, communication and defense of
cultural diversity. Means impress programming strategies, action, and research towards a new paradigm of the economy
and sustainable development that is able to protect the social, cultural, educational benefit of current and future
generations. A territory extraordinarily rich (which is that of Vibo Valentia), with many sites of archaeological, historical,
architectural and artistic importance, It must be enhanced to foster and promote cultural tourism.
This does not means only make accessible museums, archaeological areas, exhibitions, libraries, parks and natural
environment, but also qualify the network of primary services to encourage its proper use: information, communication,
transport, tourist accommodation. Culture and tourism can be truly a winning combination, in view of a path of growth
sustainable and lasting.
A bridge between past and present, projected into the future, through the emotional experience. There are some strategic
elements which should guide tour operators and public administrators in planning and designing activities that combine
tourism and culture, especially where they come into consideration, as in our case, tangible or intangible, that have been
recognized Heritage Humanity. Essential is the coordination of the responsibilities and functions to be carried out in a task
force that can operate, in a unanimous and, in view of coordinated policies that are part of the same strategy of
development of image, quality, range of products and services.
In this context is very important the reorganization of the public system, in cooperation with the private sector, so to
express optimally the attractiveness of our territory, enhancing their image, especially internationally, thanks the
preparation of labor resources and qualified competent and successful marketing strategies. In this sense the
Mediterranean diet, a World Heritage Site, becomes the driving force for sustainable development of our region.

landscapes, which are home of archaeological vestiges and ancient traditions. Here, in the heart of the
Mediterranean Sea, the ancient Magna Grecia territory - hence the choice of the name "Megale Hellas" - invites you
to know the hidden secrets of the turquoise blue sea, which bathes wide sandy beaches along the Ionian Sea and
vertiginous cliffs along the Tyrrhenian “Violet Coast”.
The Megale Hellas staff will guide you to the discovery of the uncontaminated sea of Calabria with its Scuba Diving
School, well-organized to introduce you to the hidden wonders of the Ionian Sea, of the Tyrrhenian Sea and of the
Strait of Messina. The structure, well equipped, is located a few steps from the sea, on the Marina di Gioiosa Jonica
promenade, in the heart of the so-called “Jasmines Coast”.
But Megale Hellas is not only this, it’s a structured center of tourist services for the discovery and knowledge of the
territory of the province of Reggio Calabria. We are able to offer all-inclusive tourist services, which include, in
addition to courses and scuba diving, guided tours, hiking, trekking and food and wine tours, to discover the natural,
architectural and archaeological beauty of this area of Calabria, surrounded by two seas, dominated by the massif
