Foreign and Italian travellers have already booked in thousands of accommodation facilities Napoli, Islands, Sorrento Peninsula and Amalfi Coast among the most popular, for the search for a varied tourist experience, chasing favorable weather and for cultural visits and tastings but also food and wine with good trends for nature and sports tourism.
He is a mostly European traveler, who comes to Campania, also favored by convenient air routes and trains and by a varied accommodation offer among thousands of bed and breakfasts, guest houses, holiday homes and rentals, farmhouses and small hotels - this is reported by Otei, the Abbac Extralberghiero Tourist Observatory, which in recent days launched a survey of over 500 operators of hospitality tourism in Campania and which confirmed the high trend of bookings, well over 80% of room occupancy during the long weekend.
“Good results also from provincial cities such as Salerno, Avellino, Caserta and Benevento where many returns of Italians abroad and from northern Italy are recorded. But the flow of foreign travellers is still high, mostly Europeans and even overseas who seek Campania in their travel experiences. And with the 2022 recovery there is also no shortage of new rates of illegal activity and speculation with online advertisements of accommodation facilities often without any authorization.
The hope is that the Government will act quickly to accelerate the process for the single national code and that local police will equip themselves with adequate tools to curb unfair and harmful competition, while the tax crackdown now seems clear, with the implementation of the European directive that requires international booking portals to transfer the tax data of ad managers", reads a note.
“It is essential to qualify the accommodation offer and the proposal of our cities such as Naples, a low-cost destination which risks finding itself among the last cities in Italy to have suffered from the phenomena of overtourism - explains theAbbac – We need to work to improve the quality of the offer, already high in mature tourist locations, and work towards a balance, also ensuring safety, decorum and services such as a boost in mobility, challenges that put our territories to the test, which cannot handle such concentrated loads of visitors.
We hope that the November test in view of the Christmas holidays that analysts consider to be marked by austerity, delivering us to uncertainty, with inflation and energy price increases increasing as the recent ECB interest rates that could have repercussions on tourism in 2023″
