The upcoming luxury Orient Express will have an Italian touch. The famous French hotel company, Accor, has selected Italy's MA Group Ferroviaria to carry out this ambitious project, worth more than 100 million euros, which includes the creation of a train consisting of 18 carriages and the management of a complete service for a period of 15 years.
