It will be another Ferragosto boom. With excellent prospects for September and October. But this year the real novelty is the last minute vacation: 30% of guests book less than a week before the arrival date .
Paolo Manca, regional president of Federalberghi , takes stock of the season.
On the transport front , fares increased between June and July, then decreased in early August .
" A singular rebound backwards – observes Manca – which has allowed us to support last minute bookings ".
However, the issue of territorial continuity remains. For Manca, " a wrong tender, with exaggerated rates for Rome and Milan "
But more generally, the 2024 season marks a real restart for the sector, also in terms of work. According to Manca, " many young people are returning to the world of tourism, replacing professionals who left during the Covid years . Added to this is the new Federalberghi national contract, which affects 87% of workers. They finally have a new growth perspective"
