Italy's ski resorts are reporting
solid bookings over the January 6 Epiphany holiday but art
cities are at an all-time low, hotel group Federalberghi said
Wednesday.
Foreign tourism is "virtually absent" amid the Omicron variant
spike of the COVID-19 emergency.
As well as Omicron, Federalberghi reports a "growing economic
crisis" in the sector.
Mountain resorts, it said, "are resisting as far as January 9,
after the Epiphany long weekend, with occupancy rates at 60% on
average" but many facilities at the seaside and lakes, which are
usually kept open after the Christmas and New Year holidays,
have been closed after New Year's Eve or have not opened at all.
