The farm is also pink with an astonishing 75 percent female shares.

"We find ourselves with a GDP in general that grows more than 3.5 percent, more than expected, and this growth in the summer came thanks to services, primarily tourism, which is recovering by leaps and bounds despite having been the sector most affected by the blockade ”, explained, connected from Brussels, Magda Antonioli, president of the National Tourist Observatory and vice president of the European Travel Commission, guest of honor at the meeting.

If in reference to the GDP tourism represents 13 percent of the total, and for employment it represents 14 percent, in an island like Sardinia - it was remarked - it is an indispensable source to be protected.
