Burgio, Alpitour: “In Italia la domanda cresce, ora il problema è l’offerta”

💰 Alpitour World closed 2024 with a consolidated turnover of nearly €2.1 billion, marking a 7% increase from 2023, and transported 2.3 million passengers with Neos, including 206,000 foreign tourists to Italy, reaching a total of one million customers. Despite a challenging start with booking collapses in Egypt due to the Israel-Hamas conflict, the summer saw a significant recovery. Prospects for increased demand are high, but there are concerns about whether the supply, including airports, planes, and railways, can keep up. Neos plans to expand its fleet from 16 to 19 aircraft, with the 17th expected in April. The demand for luxury hotels continues to grow, with a 35% increase in Italy, although supply still falls short of demand, as seen by the 73% occupancy rate of Alpitour's eight five-star VRetreats hotels, aiming to expand to 10. U.S. funds represent 80% of the total invested in Italian hotels last year, driving up property prices.

Pompei, scoperto un nuovo tesoro: un grande settore termale

🏠 In Pompeii, a Unesco heritage site, a major private bath complex has been discovered, capable of accommodating up to thirty people, featuring a calidarium, tepidarium, frigidarium, and a dressing room.
