Only 13% of foreign tourists opt for south

Only 13% of foreign tourists opt for southern Italy, retailers' association Confcommercio said Friday.
    Fully 44.3% preferred the north-east, the area around Venice, it said.
    It would be a mistake to pursue the industrialisation of the Mezzogiorno, according to Confcommercio.
    Instead, the area's cultural, tourism and culinary treasures should be exploited.
