Tourism Minister Daniela Santanché
said Tuesday the government would take tourists to the
floodand-mudslide-blocked Aosta mountain resort of Cogne by
helicopter.
Santanché, who came to Aosta to take stock of the damage after
the flood, said "it is an idea that will do Aosta Valley
good,and the community of Cogne.
"We have called the project 'Cogne gives wings'.
"Rather than putting people out of work, closing hotels, closing
the community, we will work to get tourists to Aosta, pick them
up by helicopter, and bring them to Cogne.
"They will of course have to stay for an appropriate period, at
least four days in a hotel or 15 days in a second home."
