One in three Italians (34%) makes a bridge on the occasion of April 25th, defying the negative weather forecasts with the return of the cold after an early summer. This is confirmed by the Coldiretti/Ixè survey on spring long weekends, with the Liberation Day which this year offers a very favorable location to take advantage of for trips or even short holidays. The vast majority of Italians will choose national locations – underlines Coldiretti – which allow them to optimize the limited time available, from the sea to the cities of art up to the countryside and the mountains. The preferred accommodation is homes owned or owned by relatives and friends followed by hotels and bed and breakfasts. Very popular farmhouses where according to Campagna Amica Terranostra some facilities are already fully booked thanks to the desire of Italians to be outdoors in search of good food.
What makes people choose one of the 25,400 Italian farmhouses – underlines Coldiretti – is in fact the drive towards all-Made in Italy local tourism, “sustainable” in terms of costs, distances and respect for one’s well-being. A trend that has led the structures – specifies Coldiretti – to also increase the offer of activities with innovative services for sportsmen, the nostalgic, the curious and environmentalists, as well as cultural activities such as visit archaeological or naturalistic routes or wellness. The results of the spring long weekends – concludes Coldiretti – represent an important signal for the summer tourist season that is almost upon us despite the concerns linked to the difficult international situation.
