The Cinque Terre confirm themselves as a favorite destination for tourists. The numbers declare it with 90% of the structures occupied. Record for Genoa with over 94% of accommodation facilities sold-out.
«This year – comments the president of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti – meteorological uncertainty favors last minute decisions. However, this has not at all discouraged tourists, mainly Italian, who consider Liguria an ideal destination for their holidays, whether for two days or a week. Genoa, then, deserves a particular mention as it continues to attract visitors thanks to its lively offer of cultural activities and events, confirming the success of the tourism policies of a region in constant expansion regardless of the weather.”
«MDespite the uncertain weather, Liguria continues to be a highly sought-after destination thanks both to the promotional policies implemented by the Region and also to the greater ease of reaching our locations – adds the councilor for Tourism and Transport -. I remember that the ‘Sea Trains’ have been active for a couple of weeks, guaranteeing new additional connections for Liguria with Lombardy and Piedmont. As regards Lombardy, there are twenty-one additional connections: ten on Saturdays and eleven on holidays thanks to the collaboration between Trenitalia, Trenord, the Liguria Region and the Lombardy Region. As regards Piedmont, there are 18 ‘Ponente Line’ connections scheduled by Trenitalia with the Piedmont Region between Turin, Savona, Albenga and Imperia which are added to the 18 daily connections between the Piedmontese capital and Savona (6 of which continue up to Ventimiglia with stops in the localities of the Riviera di Ponente) and to the two additional trains for 24 June between Turin and Imperia”.
