In this article I will try to explain what doing “gavetta” (working your way up) means in concrete terms, a concept ignored by most or even unknown…
What is it about? Read on and you’ll find out…

What is “Gavetta”?

It derives from the military world and is the metal container in which the soldiers found the meal to consume. Over time it has changed meaning and indicates military life at the lowest level.

Concretely, what does this mean?

Remaining in the military world, it means starting from the most humble ranks and then reaching the highest officer ranks. This can translate generally into the world of work (as well as into other aspects of life!) for those who really started from the bottom to build something important, most of the time recognized by many.

Doing “Gavetta” in tourism

In the world of tourism, there could be many examples of doing “Gavetta” (working your way up). One of these is, for example, having experienced a certain tourist place (or tourist attraction) with the eyes of both a worker, a tourist and a traveller. I remind you once again that tourism and travel are not the same thing and, consequently, neither are tourists and travellers.

Comparison with experience

Many people, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view!), confuse this concept with that of experience. If you want to learn more about the topic, I invite you to read here.
