Cultural Tip
In Italian business contexts, si occupa conveys a slightly formal tone. If you want a more casual feel, you can use gestisce or si prende cura di. Remember that the verb occuparsi always requires the preposition di when followed by a noun (e.g., si occupa di le attività), but when the noun already has a partitive article delle, the di is omitted, as in this sentence.
