Un grande traguardo per il GMT™ Halaesa Nebrodi!

Questo video, realizzato con maestria da Torrefilms e Realeyez srls, rappresenta un importante obiettivo raggiunto dal GMT™ Halaesa Nebrodi nel suo percorso di valorizzazione e promozione del territorio.

Si tratta di un progetto autofinanziato dagli Operatori aderenti al GMT™ Halaesa Nebrodi, reso possibile anche grazie al significativo contributo economico di due aziende del territorio: Mammana Group e Azienda Sacco Franca.
Il film è stato presentato in occasione della partecipazione del GMT™ HalaesaNebrodi alla BTE-Borsa del turismo extralberghiero 2025 di Palermo

The GMT™ Halaesa-Nebrodi has signed a significant collaboration agreement with Authentic Sicily Realty, a young and dynamic European company dedicated to facilitating real estate transactions in Sicily, with a particular focus on inland areas.
“Our team has Italian roots and diverse international experience,” stated founderDaniele Passarello, “allowing us to combine tradition with innovation. Our goal is to highlight the authentic charm of Sicilian identity. We are proud to lead an initiative aimed at regenerating small villages, particularly in lesser-known inland areas. The partnership with GMT™ Halaesa-Nebrodi,” Passarello continued, “will enable us to attract foreign investors by integrating real estate into territorial marketing and hospitality regeneration plans to promote tourism flows. At the same time, we aim to meet the needs of local Administrators seeking opportunities to impact various economic sectors, such as construction, agriculture, craftsmanship, and hospitality services. This mission lies at the heart of our work, driven by the belief that we can make a tangible and lasting contribution to the regeneration of local communities.”

Many will recall that these themes were central to the event organized by Territori e Italianità in January 2024 in Mistretta, as part of the “Grand Tour - The Culture of Hospitality in Inland Areas” (sponsored by ANCI Nazionale and SIMTUR). This event introduced the GMT™ model, which led to the creation of GMT™ Halaesa-Nebrodi just three months later.

During that occasion, we explained that fostering a Culture of Hospitality means improving the quality of life for local communities by focusing on two main indicators: cohesion (strengthening community bonds) and work (enhancing skills by involving Administrators, economic operators, and active citizens directly on the ground).

The partnership with Authentic Sicily Realty could lead to the development of new professional roles, such as Property Managers, who will oversee hospitality services in real estate structures, and new Territorial Tourism Coordinators™ tasked with enhancing the quality of tourism services and economic operators.

Creating a Culture of Hospitality means investing energy and resources in internal communication within and among local communities: between citizens, Administrators, and all stakeholders.

To Administrators, we propose a vision in which local identities are preserved while territorial and inter-municipal cooperation transforms the status quo, allowing each “bell tower” to stand proud of its unique identity.

In September, at Castel di Lucio, we presented our Territorial Marketing and Cultural Hospitality Regeneration Action Plan, which is now awaiting approval by local Mayors. One of the key concepts of our GMT˜ model is that “today, you don’t just sell beds, but everything that surrounds them. At the same time, you can only sell what surrounds them if quality accommodations exist.”

We are thrilled about this partnership, as it represents a valuable opportunity for the many skilled professionals within GMTTM Halaesa-Nebrodi. We will handle the reception and stay of potential buyers, offering tailored experiences that immerse them in our territory, guiding them on a journey of discovery and awareness, encouraging them to return, and opening new international channels.

We aim to show that their investment is also our investment, fostering a new paradigm of community, based on our principle that People are and create the destination. These are the values that led Daniele Passarello of Authentic Sicily Realty to identify a shared vision and intent with GMT˜ Halaesa-Nebrodi and its CTT˜, Riccardo Zingone: to create inclusive and welcoming communities where people remain central to their identity and future.

This is what fostering a Culture of Hospitality means. It does not overlap with tourism but serves as its foundation.
