In this picture taken on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, keys hang at the reception of the Saturnia hotel, in Venice, Italy. Venetians are rethinking their city in the quiet brought by the coronavirus pandemic. For years, the unbridled success of Venice's tourism industry threatened to ruin the things that made it an attractive destination to begin with.
Such an opening is exactly what tourism operators have been waiting for -- even if European neighbors so far appeared be wary of the unilateral Italian announcement. Serandrei said that Saturnia’s clients are overwhelmingly foreign, making open borders and an eventual resumption of air traffic key to a successful season. With no clear indication of when more regular air traffic will resume, he is looking forward to further signals before committing to a June 3 opening. The caution may be merited.
Italy’s national hotel federation said that by April the sector had already shed 106,000 jobs, with occupancy dropping by 99% for foreigners and 96% for Italians. Another half a million jobs are at risk if the summer season does not take off, according to the association. Italy is hoping also to encourage domestic tourism, offering vouchers to lower income families to spend in Italian hotels, campgrounds and other establishments before the end of the year.
bayareahausfrau Keep the borders. Invite verified tourists.
So they wanna open borders but Calcio is not back yet. That’s outrageous.
smokeydogg777 One of the main issues Italy had is that hey prioritized peoples medical treatment by age. Kids first, Young adults second, Adults third, Seniors last. They've been doing that for decades; it took them while to realize that seniors were the most at risk.
Why do they want to kill grandmas!?
ReallyWill Corona be offered as a topping on the pizza?
Afraid of the new flu? Do the evolution
Yeh, really excited to visit Italy :) not now, not next year :)
Tourism 🤔seriously😳
Is Italy still going to give visas to Chinese who, because of their deadly policies for travel in December &January, killed 30,000 Italians? Will Italy still allow itself to be picked on by the EU and forced to take refugees where the US and Israel don’t? ItalyinUS
Bad idea I’m Italian I want Italy to get back on its feet but there is no treatment for this virus yet and until then we all need to stay home same here in San Diego I realize we are tired of being home but the alternative is far worse
But who will come?
No one's coming back soon ChinaVirus
Arriadna 🙏
Robbo1992x This time keep the CCP out!
Italy’s Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and death rates are all way down. The majority of Covid was confined to the north. Fine, stay locked up at home forever, less crowded for the rest of us. 😊
I'd advising banning Americans. We dont deserve it and will ruin it for everyone
Come on down, corona-wave 2!
The only people who will visit are the Chinese.
Who the hell wants to travel there ? Let the virus spread again.
What don’t people get...no one is thinking about traveling and being a tourist somewhere. The hospitality industry needs to wake up and smell the coffee!
