The acceleration towards public evidence, between uncertainty and the possibility of upheaval of our tourism model, could have a negative impact on the Pescara coast, which has always managed to offer services both to those with a high spending capacity and to those seeking a holiday at affordable prices.”

For Confartigianato, present at the Bit in Milan, as reiterated in recent years in all institutional offices, tourism is the essential resource of the territory and must be at the center of every political choice. We need infrastructure, preferential taxation for businesses, promotion of the city, car parks, theatre, an exhibition center worthy of the name, which allow us to deseasonalize the tourist offer of what is preparing, from 2027, to be a reality subway. Seaside businesses are the glue of this development thanks to the variety of the offer, which allows tourists to choose the type of holiday they prefer”.
