Cit. DON GIAMPAOLO CENTOFANTI

Puglia, the heel of the boot, is the region that hides different souls and counts over 8 and a half million tourists every year. According to the Tour Operators and international tourists questioned during the surveys conducted or coordinated by the Pugliapromozione Regional Observatory, the opportunities of our region, endowed with a heterogeneous and high quality offer, are many. In particular, the province of Foggia distinguishes itself as a territory in the plural because, due to its geographical conformation, it has a 360-degree tourist offer: - The quality of the sea and the beaches: recognized among the best in the country and a very wide and differentiated coast the Adriatic and Ionian ones - The presence of an environment not yet too contaminated just mention the Gargano National Park or the Tremiti Islands, flagships of the Province of Foggia - The great popular traditions and the events that still today characterize and identify some destinations - The presence of renowned religious places also as a tourist-cultural destination: San Giovanni Rotondo, Monte Sant'Angelo, - The attractiveness of its food and wine products: with 226 traditional agri-food products it is positioned among the first places in the ranking of the southern regions. - Millenary cuisine: Always defined as "poor", due to the simplicity of its ingredients, Apulian cuisine satisfies every type of palate. There are four strong points in the kitchen: durum wheat, vegetables, oil and wine which, combined with meat and fish, always give life to original dishes capable of maintaining pure and unmistakable flavours.

Puglia and in particular the province of Foggia continues to satisfy those who choose to visit it. The confirmation comes from the data of the "Tourist profile and preferences" survey, conducted in the Tourist Information and Reception Offices (IAT) of the Region in the summer of 2015, from which important strengths of the Puglia destination emerge: the coexistence of different elements and characteristics endowed with uniqueness; the beauty of the natural landscapes, some of which are still untouched; a varied and quality food and wine offer (wine, oil, typical recipes); the warmth, hospitality and welcome of the inhabitants. But tourists unanimously ask for greater attention to the quality of services. To maintain a certain level of customer satisfaction or, perhaps, increase it, it is necessary to activate a process of continuous improvement through an organized and systematic effort which involves all company functions, at all levels. This, substantially, for two reasons: • all the standards achieved, over time, tend to deteriorate therefore it is necessary to develop at least one maintenance activity to keep the value of the standard equal to what had previously been achieved • the customer in years he gets used to the value of the standard and therefore wants more, new states of necessity arise in him, on pain of congenital dissatisfaction For both reasons it is therefore necessary to promote improvement activities with the minimum objective of maintaining the current value for the standard (retention value) or with the more challenging goal of improving within a defined time schedule. The development of organizations passes precisely through this widespread path that alternates improvement actions with maintenance actions. Continuous improvement finds an important support in customer satisfaction as it provides the measure of the degree of satisfaction of the needs and expectations of the users of the services and facilitates the identification of the critical areas on which to intervene with priority. Based on what G.A.T.E. e Gusto was born and developed with the aim of enhancing the attractiveness of the Apulian territory by creating an opportunity for exchange to improve the accommodation services of the area by offering a meeting place between supply and demand, always having customer satisfaction as the final objective.
