“In 2022 the overall tourism market in Italy returned close to pre-pandemic values, almost doubling foreign travellers compared to 2021, the restart has characterized all segments of the tourism industry to some extent: from travel agencies to tours operators, but the sectors that have recorded the greatest increases in demand are above all those linked to travel with a boom in cruise holidays and an encouraging recovery in air and rail traffic,” the statement notes.
