Home Pix of the Trade Spotlight on South America

Spotlight on South AmericaProviding insights into the southernmost part of the Americas is the goal of a delegation now visiting Toronto. Linda Lomelino (l), sales manager for Passages of Distinction, and Mariana Bruggia (r) of the Best of South America marketing alliance — which includes hotels in Argentina, Peru and Chile — are promoting hotel stays and cruises in Patagonia, and other parts of South America, including Buenos Aires, which Lomelino labeled “such a fabulous city. Very cosmopolitan.” Best of South America has properties — including eco-hotels — in such locales as Patagonia, Buenos Aires, Lima and Machu Picchu. It also represents Patagonia cruises that link southernmost Chile with southernmost Argentina. Its web site is found at http://www.bop.travel . Pictured with Lomelino and Bruggia is Ann Layton of Siren Communications, which represents www.bop.travel in Canada.
