Four million visitors. Thirteen million overnight stays are recorded. Total revenue of five billion dollars, despite weather forecasts being uninspiring. These are the results of a survey conducted by CNA Tourism and Commerce on the holiday on June 2. Over the days from today to Sunday, seaside resorts and cities of art are the most popular tourist destinations, with a strong preference for the former in the South and the main islands and the latter in the center-north. Once again, innovative tourism, particularly experiential tourism based on knowledge of crafts and agribusiness, should attract a large number of vacationers willing to "get their hands dirty" and participate in manual activities with high added value. While Italian tourist will prevail in terms of numbers, it is anticipated that the presence of a large number of foreigners will demonstrate that our country's attractiveness to foreigners is returning to pre-Covid levels, if not improving. Tourists from Italy will number approximately 2.5 million, while foreigners will number approximately 1.5 million. The average overnight stay for Italians will be less than three nights, and for foreigners it will be less than four nights.
