Some 13.254 million Italians will be
travelling over the Friday December 8 Immaculate Conception of
Mary 'bridge' feast day and public holiday long weekend,
Federalberghi hoteliers group President Bernabò Bocca said
Friday in commenting on a survey carried out for the federation
by ACS Marketing Solutions.
Since the Catholic holiday falls on a Friday, it makes it
possible to extend the weekend by a day with what Italians call
a 'bridge' day.
''Compared to last year, there has been an increase in
turnover," said Bocca.
"But at the same time, we have seen from the numbers that the
watchword for Italians travelling this year will be "savings"''.
