C I Destinations, in partnership with the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce, presents an International trip to Tuscany / One Hotel Holiday, departing October 15, 2024.

Tuscany is the most popular region in Italy. Tuscany offers its numerous visitors the best of all things Italian starting with fine art. The capital, Florence, is considered the cradle of renaissance, and now one of the richest cities of art and culture. Tuscany is famous for its world-class art collections, charming medieval hill towns, and sweeping hillsides full of vineyards. Tuscany is where you have to go if you want to stand in a room full of Botticelli paintings or gaze upon Michelangelo’s “David”. You can’t find the home of Chianti wine or the town that produced “Under the Tuscan Sun” anywhere else. The region’s hill towns will provide a beautiful backdrop for the perfect Tuscan holiday you’ve always dreamed of experiencing.

The cost is $3,499 per person (save $100 register by March 31, 2024), the deposit is $450 per traveler. This cost includes airfare, seven nights of hotel accommodations at 4-star hotels, 10 meals (seven breakfasts, three dinners), sightseeing and admissions per itinerary, and a professional tour manager.  

We are also offering a two night Rome extention on this trip for an additional $599. Details below.

To register for the trip, call the DPC Chamber at 434.836.6990 or email chamber@dpchamber.org. 

Jessie Vernon, Program Manager, and Kiana Dillard, Work-based Learning Coordinator, with the Institute for Advanced Learning & Research, will be discussing resources and opportunities to recruit talent and strengthen your organization’s talent pipeline through the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership (V-TOP) and EmPOWER. V-TOP’s role is to facilitate the internship readiness of students, institutions, and employers. EmPOWER is IALR’s employer-driven system to empower and connect students to careers.

During this In the Know: Member to Member session Jessie and Kiana will provide an overview of V-TOP and EmPOWER and answer attendees’ questions about internships and other work-based learning opportunities to connect with future employees.
