“The numbers tell me that tourism is growing, regardless of what the number says accommodations that are growing…by definition anyone who sleeps one night is a tourist and increases the hospitality offer” – the General manager tells us, telling us about a situation that stands out there connection from the city with tourism.
Among the fundamental data there would also be that of foreign arrivals: “In the last 4 years the number of tourists, including foreign ones, has increased”, certainly data that gives rise to hope. Trani is unquestionably a tourist destination, but there is no shortage of gaps: rest on your laurels it would be very wrong and above all impossibleTrani tourist city, yes, but with perhaps a few too many problemsbetween absent parking and unfinished works.
“The citizen must also become a “tourist citizen”: when a card is thrown on the ground, the city suffers – he continues – the constant of terrible combination of carelessness and incivilitycapable, as we have already seen, of ruining many areas of the city and which, from a tourist perspective, could turn into a gigantic “own goal”.
We then talk about data collection and how the collection could be improved: “We need to start creating a data entry to understand what the arrival and departure rates are, we need to understand where they come from, what they think afterwards and what the tourist approval rating is. All actions necessary to create an industrial plan to understand relevant information through the voice of the tourist”: Gadaleta reports, placing a focus fundamental on backbone of the sector: The tourist andd his liking.
“We need to know and study the characteristics of visitors in more depth: a laboratory of numbers useful for the tourism sector should be created.”
The hope is that these projects and improvements will be completed so as to (re)give Trani a greater tourist image, without ever forgetting how much the tourism be one of most important economic flows for the city and territory.
