TOURISM:
MANY ITALIANS WILL STAY IN
Special service by AGI on behalf of the Italian Prime Minister's office
(AGI) -
The Italians love
Over 18 mln Italians, compared with 17 mln in 2005, will choose national resorts for the long weekend of 2 June, while 4.5 mln will go abroad (5.2 mln).
More Italians will go on holiday in the summer: 24 mln (23.7 mln in 2005), that's 50.3 pct of the adult population. Currently, the undecided are 5.5 pct (2.5 mln). Almost 21 mln people will surely not go on holiday over the summer (44.2 pct).
Among the ones who will leave, 76 pct will stay in
Regarding foreign tourists coming to
These figures, said Bocca, confirm that our tourism sector "is competitive", and offer Culture and Tourism Minister Francesco Rutelli a good opportunity to draw up the economic measures the sector needs: few but crucial ones, starting from the appointment of new top managers at ENIT, then setting the adequate sums to be allocated for promoting Italy's image in the world, and special tax allowances for the sector.
Last but not least - said Bocca - initiatives for employment, to guarantee flexible systems, which companies operating in this sector need so much.
