Italia: stagione turistica più lunga grazie agli stranieri

🏖️ In 2024, 31.6% of Italian hotel stays were during summer (June-August), with spring and autumn seeing growth. May bookings increased to 9.3% (from 8.9% in 2023), October to 9.1%, and September up by 2%. International arrivals, accounting for 65.2% of check-ins, spurred this destagionalization, with major inflows from Germany, France, the UK, and Asia, favoring destinations such as Rome, Venice, Florence, Puglia, and Sicily. Hotel stays generally lasted one night (76.3%), two nights (12.5%), 3-4 nights (8.1%), 5-6 nights (2.1%), with only 0.7% exceeding seven nights.

Wizz Air rivede al ribasso le stime sull’utile

💸 Wizz Air, a low-cost airline, revised its net profit forecast downwards for the second time for the fiscal year ending March, now expecting between €250-300 million instead of the initially anticipated €350-450 million. High costs and unresolved Pratt & Whitney engine issues on its A321neo fleet, which grounded 20% of the planes, influenced the adjustment. Subsequently, Wizz Air's stock dropped 12 points on the London Stock Exchange after a third-quarter loss of €241.1 million compared to €105.4 million in the same period in 2023. CEO Jozsef Varadi remains optimistic about the company's growth capacity.
