East

EAST by CONTROVENTO: our affiliated office in Italy

CONTROVENTO looks towards the EAST. Many years of experience and continuing growth have paved the way for a new leg of an already well consolidated professional journey which in 2010 has seen a new light being shed towards the South East Asian and Indian continent. Careful selection, personalized services, and continuous dialogue is the preface of this new affiliation which is managed completely independently.


Valeria Ridi
Owner & Managing Director - EAST by CONTROVENTO

From her love of ancient Greek and Roman classicism to her interest for the oriental philosophies, her studies in philology opened up a new route in tourism which started in 1988 and has since never abandoned. Valeria has always been involved with the product management of many destinations in the Far East and in the Indian continent on behalf of some of the most prestigious international tour operators. Attracted by the world, she is an expert connoisseur of Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Maldives & the Arabian Emirates. Valeria conjugates her vocation to research the most precious aspects of a journey with her marked communication and organizational skills: the result has been a long lasting career where she has been covering creative and decision-making roles.
