Tourism artisans

There is a new brand that caters to lovers of discovery of distant lands and peoples, travel connoisseurs who must, however, be equipped with a good wallet. It is called Blufennec (www.blufennec.com) and has a history behind it. In fact, the brand brings together tour operators Ruta40, Seagull Livingston, Carréblu and Upperail. Each with a long specialization in luxury travel. “We know how to listen to the customer and we are characterized by uniqueness and exclusivity. There is no catalog, each itinerary is tailored to the user, and word of mouth is the best marketing strategy. We sell a dream,” comments Roberto Pasqua di Bisceglie, managing director of the group, who during the press conference at La Martina spaces in Milan on Oct. 8, 2024 (photo on cover) also announced that he does not want to stop at the tourism sector alone.  
To better understand the change in brand image (rebranding) and to learn about the history of the newly formed group that operates with the philosophy of environmental sustainability, we need to take a step back to the early 2000s. Ruta40 is a Boutique Tour Operator established in 2002 that creates tailor-made trips by listening to the needs and desires of travelers, taking them to discover old and new civilizations. Reported in major travel guides as a reference for South America and Antarctica, it is a strategic partner of Tourism Boards and part of Serandipians Traveller Made.
