Antonio Salerno
@antoniosalerno
Hospitality professional and aspiring Tourism Manager delivering premium guest experiences and operational leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a tourism and hospitality professional with over 10 years of international experience, bringing solid operational execution alongside a growing strategic and commercial mindset. I’m currently further developing as a Tourism Manager, with a focus on business management, process optimization, and service development.
I’m driven to pursue managerial and coordination roles—remote or hybrid (home office included)—where accountability for results, effective resource management, and goal achievement are essential. I lead with excellent communication, natural leadership, a strong sense of responsibility, and high adaptability in complex, ever-changing environments.
In premium and luxury settings, I’ve coordinated service operations for exclusive club functions and events, supported high-pressure guest relations, and handled complaint management in a solution-oriented way. I also contribute to revenue through active upselling, and I’ve strategically designed and priced wine lists to strengthen long-term customer relationships.
I’m comfortable with modern hotel workflows and guest-facing technology, including POS systems, digital ordering, and inventory management software. Through specialized training (including Mews PMS & POS learning paths) and professional qualifications such as ESOL C1 and an AIS Sommelier Diploma, I consistently deliver high standards, precision, and reliability.
