With effect from year-end, the DERTOUR Hotel Division is taking over the former LABRANDA Rocca Nettuno Tropea hotel from the FTI Group. Aldiana is thus expanding its portfolio with an exclusive resort in Calabria, the southernmost region of the Italian mainland. The club has been bookable for holidays since 10 December.<br \/>\nThe DERTOUR Hotel Division is also acquiring the popular Aldiana Club in Andalusia, Spain, which has been an integral part of the club portfolio since 1998. This means that a total of four of the eleven Aldiana resorts are now owned and operated. <q>With these two acquisitions in the holiday destinations of Italy and Spain, which are so popular with our guests, we are consistently pursuing our strategy of sustainable growth with the Aldiana brand and offering our guests a high-quality club experience,<\/q> explains Karl J. Pojer, CEO of the DERTOUR Group Hotel Division. <q>We are making further investments in exclusive club resorts in outstanding locations. These steps emphasise our ambition to further expand the Aldiana club brand.<\/q><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"myblock-wrapper block-my-text-block block-ingrid\" data-module-name=\"Headline Copy Link\">    <div class=\"textblock margin-row-inner\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n            <h2 class=\"smaller\">Situated on a rocky plateau overlooking the sea: The Aldiana Club Rocca Nettuno Calabria<\/h2>\n            <p>The new Aldiana Club Rocca Nettuno Calabria is located on a rocky plateau above the beach of Tropea with sweeping views of the sea, nestled in a Mediterranean garden that extends in terraces towards the sea.

For the first time, we\u2019ll have trucks in six German cities, and we\u2019re also supporting numerous regional Pride events as well as initiatives organized by our regional offices and retailers.
