There is a bit of Basilicata at Bari airport: the Lucania territorial promotion agency has opened a new information desk in the arrivals area of Bari’s Karol Wojtyla airport.
The Puglia and Basilicata regions join forces
“The presence of Basilicata in our airports,- said the president of Aeroporti di Puglia Antonio Maria Vasile, “honours us while reinforcing the Puglia-Basilicata macro-region. This desk is not only an important step forward in the cooperation between our regions, it is also important for travellers who want to discover the wonders of Basilicata, as well as our territory and its excellences.
Promotional material for arriving visitors
“This is a promotional opportunity for our entire region,- says Aeroporto Basilicata director general Antonio Nicoletti. - Travellers arriving at Bari airport will receive material on all the municipalities in our region, the protected areas, our historical and architectural landscape and our cultural heritage, as well as the many ways to discover our region.”
“Bari Airport is the main gateway to Basilicata”
“They will also receive information on public transport from the airport to Matera, the Ionian coast and the rest of Basilicata. Bari Airport is the main gateway to Basilicata for both Italian and international visitors. In the first six months of 2024 we had an increase in arrivals from abroad of 63% compared to the same period in 2019 while travellers from Puglia remain our leading market."
