Per ENIT president Giorgio Palmucci “in 2021 the country confirmed itself as the most popular destination and will do so again next year. It will not only be the actual destinations that determine the choice of Italy as a destination, but also the experiences and natural wonders, as well as the hotels and resorts, ecotourism, food and wine experiences, glamping, outdoor sports , shopping, spas and thermal wellness, yachts and boat holidays. Excellent services and holidays complete with every comfort, in a country whose priority is welcoming people in complete safety, especially in the post-Covid period. This highlights how tourism will play the leading role in economic growth”. Among the favorite destinations of Bella Italia, there is growing consensus for the farmhouses in Umbria and Tuscany.

We will start again from Naples and Campania with an in-person trade fair event in the certainty that our investments in this sector are the bearers of a project resulting from a strategic idea. We are promoting a vision aimed at developing a more competitive tourist offer based on the hospitality of our destinations, whether new or consolidated, but all equally capable of proving themselves adequate to the constantly evolving tastes of travellers. The next summer season will be a crucial moment to verify the ability to plan a tourist-cultural context, now free from health emergencies, which is reassuring with respect to the demand for social, economic and environmental sustainability. I am sure that we will be able, together with the system of companies and private operators, to best interpret the needs of Italian and foreign visitors”.
