After the reassuring tourist result of last Easter, many Italians will also take a vacation for the long weekends of April 25 and May 1: over 17 million according to the survey by Federalberghi.

In particular, there will be 9 million Italians who will travel on April 25th while 8 million and 99 thousand will move for the long weekend of May 1st.

Among those who will not go on vacation, the majority (50.8% for April 25 and 52.4% for May 1) revealed that they are not leaving for economic reasons.

18.7% of non-vacationers on April 25th and 16.5% on May 1st will leave in another period.

"Once again we need to consider the urgent need to support a sector such as tourism, which is the driving force of the country, more and more every day" says the president of Federalberghi, Bernabò Bocca.

"It is a great achievement for the whole hospitality world to observe the fact that the majority of travelers in this circumstance have considered the hotel as their preferred accommodation - adds Bocca - It is an important factor because it highlights the resilience of our sector , even in spite of the drama and the enormous difficulties caused by the pandemic. I would even say that we have received even more expressions of trust from the Italians who continue to choose our hotels and above all Italy as their favorite destination for their vacation".

"The current results - concludes the president of Federalberghi - suggest a good performance in the perspective of next summer. We will be prudently watching, setting the course with a "full speed ahead".
