Hotel Etico
Andrea is the co-founder and CEO of Hotel Etico. The hotel is nestled in the picturesque Mount Victoria Historic Village, though it is more than just charming accommodation.
Inspired by Niccolò Vallese, a young man with Down Syndrome from Italy, Hotel Etico embodies a vision to provide meaningful work opportunities for people with disabilities.
We learn how Andrea is fostering independence and community for people with disabilities through his picturesque Hotel Etico. Nine
Vallese's dream of working in a hotel led to the creation of a training program by two restaurant owners, which expanded to seven European establishments. Hotel Etico is Australia's first social enterprise hotel. It offers trainees hospitality skills and life skills, fostering independence and community.
