"The sudden halt to tourist bus traffic on the Amalfi Coast is a clear example of the inconvenience and neglect our sector too often suffers."
This was stated by Riccardo Verona, president of the National Association Tourist Buses Italians (AN.bti - Confcommercio), in an official note.
The Province of Salerno's decision to ban all tourist buses from the provincial road to Agerola, without warning and while services were already underway, has created significant problems for tourism operators on the Amalfi Coast.
"Hundreds of reservations have been canceled and tours cancelled, resulting in serious economic losses for our businesses, tourists, and Italy's image," Verona emphasized.

"Such behavior is unacceptable in the height of high season," continued the president of AN.bti.
"I fully agree with the words of the mayor of Meta, Giuseppe Tito, who highlighted the impact of this decision on the entire tourism sector, from travel agencies to hotels. Things need to be planned and communicated well in advance, to allow all operators to organize themselves."
AN.bti declares its willingness to collaborate with the institutions and other actors involved to find shared solutions and create permanent discussion tables.
"We hope for greater dialogue for the good of the industry and tourism in Italy," Verona concluded.
