(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 21 - Easter lost due to Covid would cost official accommodation facilities 11.3 million, with a loss in turnover of 1.4 billion.
These are the estimates of Cst for Assoturismo Confesercenti that ANSA publishes in preview.
An important loss, especially if you consider that the Easter holidays, this year, are in fact the only occasion for a spring break, given that the calendar April 25 coincides with Sunday and May 1 is Saturday.
The Easter break - explains Assoturismo - comes after a disastrous start of the year: the debacle of the winter season burned about 4 billion in turnover.
"For tourism, 2021 - says the president of Assoturismo Vittorio Messina - looks more and more like a new 2020. Easter Lostop is yet another 'restart vanished' from the beginning of the year: among the New Year's restrictions, the cancellation at the last minute of the ski season and the new red zones, the second wave has made 19 billion consumer tourism disappear. A serious blow to the entire economy, not just for tourism ".
"The companies - he concludes - have not worked for a year now, and do not see a way out. And the Dl Sostegni has proved disappointing: the resources made available would barely suffice to cover the Easter losses. adapted to the crisis that the sector is experiencing: we are heartened by Draghi's promise of new funding ".
