Association Welcomes New Wellness Ambassador

28 November 2021
Patrizia Bortolin

This week, the World Food Travel Association welcomed Patrizia Bortolin as its second ambassador for wellness tourism.

Patrizia is an internationally renowned and multi-award-winning wellness and hospitality expert who is simply energized by imagining and creating pioneering health and wellness concepts. She is Italian from Venice. As a travel professional first and wellness project manager later, she became a passionate globetrotter obsessed with truly experiencing life. So she combines her versatile and consistent background as a “wellness alchemist” with special people skills and a joyful approach to life. Arati, an Indian nun at Maramia Ashram, taught her how to cook genuine and healing food for others and use food as a spiritual path. Since then, Patrizia has incorporated this approach into her daily life and wellness strategies.
