However, art cities experience a mixed trend, with stable hotel bookings in the first two weeks of August 2024 but lower reservations from the third week onwards compared to 2023. A slight decrease (0.1%) in international bookings is noted from the fourth week. Venice has an occupancy rate above 72% for the first two weeks, dropping to 65% in the following weeks. Rome's occupancy is 70% in early August, decreasing to 60% from the 12th to the 31st. Milan follows a similar pattern, with a 60% booking rate initially, reducing to 50% later in the month. President of Associazione Italiana Confindustria Alberghi, Maria Carmela Colaiacovo, suggests international interest in beach destinations as a driver for elongating the tourist season.
