concIerges “les clefs d’or”
L’idea di un Ospite di Venezia come guida agli eventi
della città nasce nel 1977 da alcuni membri dell’Associazione
Triveneta delle Chiavi d’Oro.
A distanza di anni questa pubblicazione prosegue nel
suo cammino grazie anche alla collaborazione con
questa associazione.
è quindi con piacere che pubblichiamo questo breve
testo di benvenuto del presidente e la lista degli alberghi
dove li si può trovare in città.
“Ispirare, accogliere, sorprendere e prevenire sono
solo alcune delle parole chiave della nostra meravigliosa
professione che ci permette di realizzare sogni.
Il calore del nostro sorriso sarà sempre a disposizione

Andrea Padoan
Presidente Les Clefs d’Or - sezione Triveneta
The idea for un Ospite di Venezia as a guide
to city events began in 1977 with some
members of the Golden Keys Triveneto
Association.
Years later, this periodical is still ongoing, also
thanks to its partnership with this association.
Therefore, we are pleased to publish this brief
welcome message by its president, and a list
of hotels where it may be found in town.
“Inspiring, welcoming, surprising and foreseeing
are just some of the keywords in our
wonderful profession which allows us to make
dreams come true.
