Carolina Perez is well known to the luxury travel trade. She started São Paulo’s Travel Week, which she sold on to ILTM parent Reed. New baby, DUCO, looks like being even more successful. For one thing it is, unlike most other hospitality events, destination focussed. The second annual DUCO, April 1-5, 2019, and once again in Florence, saw 265 exhibiting hotels and resorts, all in Italy: of the total, Leading Hotels of the World had 58 properties represented, Relais & Châteaux brought along 38, Small Luxury Hotels of the World numbered 22, and Preferred Hotels and Resorts 12.
