Italian holidays, but short and rather close to home, characterized by the sea, food and wine, wellness and green itineraries while the crisis of the cities of art continues relentlessly. And above all, there are still many undecided, which is truly unpublished for this time of year but absolutely understandable compared to what happened with the pandemic. It emerges from the Confturismo Confcommercio and Swg observatory on the traveler's confidence index for June according to which 93% of the interviewees, 16% more than last year, will take a holiday in Italy.
Preferred destinations Puglia, Tuscany and Sicily. Cities and places of art, usually at the top of preferences, languish in fourth place among the preferences of the interviewees, mentioned by 15% against 22% last year. For the 7% who instead opt for foreign destinations, the choice can only narrow down to the European panorama where in Greece, France and Spain, already in vogue last year, Austria is added as a new entry, replacing England, normally present among the top destinations of the pre-Covid era.
The most striking element is also the "quality" of the planned holiday: almost 4 interviewees out of 10 think they are going to take a short holiday, of 2 or 3 days, not far from home, and they become 1 in 2 if there are also those who assume holidays of at least a week, but always without moving much from the usual residence.
