Italian tourism '"roared back" in
2022 but not to pre-COVID levels', ISTAT said Friday.
The first nine months of 2022 mark a strong recovery for the
tourism sector, but the presences of customers in accommodation
establishments are still about 39 million less than in 2019
(-10.3%), said the national statistic agency.
The balance from January to September closes with about 174
million presences of Italian customers and 164 million of
foreigners: a substantial rebalancing of the two components of
demand, but with a drop of 6.7% and 13.8% compared to 2019.
There are approximately 196 million presences of tourists in the
summer quarter, 4.7% less than the pre-pandemic record figure of
around 205 million reached in 2019.
