Riccardo Ricci
Alma Travel
Travel agent and son of the Alma Travel agency’s founder, Riccardo began travelling as a guide at a very young age and has attended the world’s major travel trade fairs. In 1994, he became the tour operator manager. Together with the airline company Viasa, Riccardo helped create the Venezuela catalogue. In 2002, he began to take an interest in Business Travel and later specialised in potential client research, business negotiation, technology consultancy and Business Intelligence. In 2016, he successfully got Alma Travel ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified, at a time when very few agencies had these certifications. Alma Travel began a collaboration with Legambiente in 2019. In 2020, Alma Travel was nominated for the Italian Mission Awards. In October 2020, Riccardo was appointed as the Lazio coordinator for Italy’s organised tourism federation, the FTO. In December 2020, he managed to get Alma Travel an ESG certification (Environmental, Social and Governance) rated A, the first agency in Italy to do so.
