Managing Director
Alessio Poluzzi
Tourism strategy & destination development consultant
Before managing MindLit, Alessio spent his career on the ground, working in ministries, regional tourism boards, and project sites across more than 30 countries. He prefers field evidence to assumptions, and a clear positioning to a clever slogan. His training began with an Economics degree from the University of Bologna and a Master degree in Management of Tourism Destinations and Enterprises from the University of Venice and the University of Surrey; but most of it came later, through two decades of delivering plans that have been dealing with real budgets, real politics, and real travellers.
