LUSH EXPERIENCES TODAY

Giuseppe had the distinct pleasure of working in the hospitality industry most of his career, and had the opportunity to work in some of the most beautiful and renowned hotels and destinations in the world. The reason he decided to form his own personalized sales and marketing representation company is that he loves traveling and the experiences that come along with travel that enrich our lives. He wants to be able to help his select clients by providing a vehicle to be seen and heard amongst the travel industry in North America. For these reasons, he named his company Lush Experiences, evoking the cultural, culinary, and visual experiences that travel enriches us with.
