PriceTravel Holding, one of Latin America’s leading travel distribution companies, has signed a new direct connectivity agreement with Mangia’s Hotels & Resorts, connecting 12 properties across Sicily and Sardinia with its international distribution network and expanding the Italian hotel group’s access to leisure demand across Latin America and other international source markets.
The partnership gives Mangia’s access to PriceTravel Holding’s network of more than 16,000 affiliated travel agencies and 28,000 active travel agents, while its wholesale business reaches more than 180 source markets. The agreement forms part of Mangia’s broader strategy to strengthen the international distribution of its portfolio and connect its Sicilian and Sardinian properties with new travel trade partners worldwide.
The 12 properties complement Mangia’s broader international distribution strategy, with other properties already available through PriceTravel Holding’s connectivity with global hotel brands including Hilton and Marriott.
Growing international demand for Italy
Italy is already an important destination within PriceTravel Holding’s international distribution network. Production to Italy grew 17.4% in 2025, reaching more than US$5.1 million in sales.
Latin American source markets currently account for more than 75% of PriceTravel Holding’s production to Italy, with Colombia standing out as the fastest-growing market, with production increasing 64.7% year over year to US$516,000. Mexico remains the largest source market, generating US$3.4 million in production to Italy in 2025.
The results highlight the growing opportunity for Italian hospitality to reach long-haul leisure travellers through PriceTravel Holding’s international distribution network, connecting Italian destinations with travel professionals across multiple source markets.
Italy is already a significant destination within PriceTravel Holding’s European portfolio, with accommodation inventory across more than 1,900 hotels and more than 16,500 passengers travelling to Italy annually. Average daily rates for Italy reached approximately US$299 in 2025, further highlighting the value of the market for hotel partners seeking to expand their international reach.
Expanding access to Sicily and Sardinia
The new agreement gives PriceTravel Holding direct access to 12 Mangia’s properties across Sicily and Sardinia, encompassing 4- and 5-star resorts designed for a diverse range of travellers, from families and couples to honeymooners and leisure travellers seeking Mediterranean beaches, gastronomy, wellness and cultural experiences.
The properties will be connected through ERMES and SYNXIS, enabling automated management of rates, availability and reservations across PriceTravel Holding’s distribution network.
The partnership also comes as Mangia’s continues to strengthen the international positioning of its portfolio. In July 2026, Mangia’s Sardinia Resort joined Marriott’s Autograph Collection, adding to the group’s existing relationship with the brand through Mangia’s Brucoli Resort in Sicily.
“Italy is an important destination within our international distribution network, and demand continues to grow across our source markets. This partnership with Mangia’s allows us to expand the range of Italian resort product available to our travel partners, while connecting Sicily and Sardinia with travellers across Latin America and other international markets,” said Rafael Durand, COO, PriceTravel Holding.
“Our partnership with PriceTravel Holding opens a new gateway to Sicily and Sardinia and strengthens our international distribution strategy. It allows us to connect our resorts with a broader network of travel professionals and international travellers looking for authentic Italian hospitality, extraordinary landscapes, gastronomy and distinctive experiences,” added Fabrizio Di Trapani, Commercial Senior Director at Mangia’s.
