the lack of snow, arrived very late, it did not stop in the mountain tourism. “The tour of the total white tourism business – ensures Bernabo Bocca, president of Federalberghi who made the forecast balance inquiry – should be about 6.6 billion euro, for an increase of 11.6%.” Mouth highlights how the mountain tourism system can now rely on a system of systems able to meet with snowmaking, the lack of natural rainfall.

But you add to this the improvement of both the hotel and for the after-ski, including fitness centers, enhancement of food traditions, cultural proposals. The result is that they were 9.7 million Italians who went to ski on weekends and skiing holidays. In particular were 4.7 million (+ 14%) fans who have called on the week of skiing and, of these, 900 thousand have enjoyed at least one other weekend on the snow. Slightly lower (10.1%) of the growth in weekend skiing involving 5 million tourists.

It is, of course, the data on attendance of those who slept at least one night in the mountain resorts. “The financial statements of the companies of the lifts – explains Giorgio Munari, president of Monterosaski – tend to be strongly influenced by the sale of the day. And the numbers lost during the Christmas holidays were not recovered in subsequent periods. At least by us, even for the failure of the hotel facilities. “

Remains strong rediscovery of second homes, even to host friends and family while growing the intteresse for mountain huts, for the apartment rental (for white weeks) and for B & amp; Bs. A slight increase per capita spending in the white weeks (from 668 to 701 € including travel, food and lodging, lifts and ski courses, entertainment) and a marginal decline in the weekends in the snow (from 329 to 315 EUR).
