Roughly seven million Italians will go
away for at least one night over the long holiday weekend
starting with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December
8, a public holiday in Italy, with a total expenditure of 2.7
billion euro, Confcommercio said on Thursday.
The business association's tourism observatory said the number
of Italians on the move is roughly in line with last year but
average expenditure has decreased.
The share of holidaymakers choosing to go abroad for the long
weekend has instead risen from 11% to 18%.
Tourism in Italy over the December 8 holiday is expected to
generate a turnover of six billion euro according to a survey by
Cna Tourism and Trade.
Italian tourists are set to replicate the pre-Covid performance
of 2019 and foreign tourists are expected to improve on it.
