The Italian tourism associations – from Fto, Aidit, Astoi and Assoviaggi to Fiavet, Ibar and Maavi express their satisfaction following the order from the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, to open up some exotic destinations.
The ministry’s monitoring table needs improving
In a joint statement they said:
We now need to make sure that this is just a first step towards the rapid overall reopening of non-EU destinations to which it is possible to travel safely. As tour operators, travel agents and tourism professionals we will do our utmost to comply with the requirements and, based on the initial responses of our customers we propose improvements in the technical monitoring table set up at the Ministry of Health.
“There are 40.000 jobs in tourism at risk”
Customer safety has always been at the top of our priorities. However the small list of destinations that have been given the green light will not solve our problems. It will take much more to limit this year’s damage which so far is even worse than 2020. There are some 40,000 jobs in Italian tourism at risk.
