New partnerships between the Vatican Museums and three leading tour operators

September 2012

In 2011 the Vatican Museums have achieved a record of 5 million visitors, a result that has classified the Museums in 5th place among the most frequented artistic and culture sites worldwide. In order to receive such an influx of visitors while providing an ever more efficient and effective service, investing resources in welcoming the public is a strategic necessity.

Awareness of this need has led to the emergence of a partnership between the Pope's Museum and three tourist agencies, leaders in the sector - Dark Rome Ltd., Carrani Tours and Trafalgar Tours Ltd. - who have decided to finance the creation of new offices within the museum complex which will accommodate all the staff who serve visitors, bringing great benefits in terms of quality.

A synergy which will enable improvements in the experience of visiting the Museums, the partners will all make contributions in their own areas of excellence. In particular, the tour operators involved will allow direct dialogue with the most keenly-felt needs of tourists; this is a field in perpetual evolution, which has a constant need for new and concrete solutions. Thanks to the contribution of Dark Rome Ltd., Carrani Tours and Trafalgar Tours Ltd., the Vatican Museums will be able to take a new step ahead in providing visitors with a unique experience of visiting its treasures of art and faith.
