CESCAT survey with "Amici Grandi Alberghi" association
A crash of the italian tourism market was avoided during the first months of 2009
Wednesday, September 09, 2009
Departures and presences demonstrate a limited downfall (-2.3%) while turnover crashes (-15%) according to the Assoedilizia CESCAT- Housing Environment and Territory Study Center survey in collaboration with the Italian “Amici dei Grandi Alberghi” Association (an association of large hotels). The survey shows that the 2009 summer tourism season trend in Italy will not undergo significant changes in the month of September. According to CESCAT a crash of the tourism market was avoided during the first months of the year and downfall was limited to only -2.3% at least in the number of departures and presences, with high peaks in Sicily, Emilia-Romagna and Apulia and in the eastern region of Liguria. However, economic turnover crashed at - 15%.
“However - stated the president of “Amici dei Grandi Alberghi”, Achille Colombo Clerici - a decisive change in strategy has to occur during a time of economic crisis and the risk of profuse job loss and if Italy wants to maintain and improve its international position, which has dropped from first place to fifth since 1970, the strategy has to include government incentives; a policy which has already been adopted by France, Spain, Greece, Croatia and other countries. Then tourism and transportation, cultural heritage and environmental policies and strategies have to become integrated and last but not least there has to be a single agency capable of eliminating the obstacles posed by the fragmentation of competence between the Regions and an infinite number of local tourism promotion structures”.
