Sicily offers to share holiday expenses post lockdown
The Italian Island, Sicily, is working on reviving the tourism post-coronavirus. Sicily announces that it would cover half the air ticket fares and one third of the lodging prices for the travellers wanting to visit the island. It is will also offer free tickets to many of its museums and archaeological sites.
Sicily has lost over €1 billion in tourism related revenue, ever since the lockdown was enforced here on March 10. The scheme might cost the island around €50 million, it hopes that the scheme would be able to attract a large number of tourists once the lockdown is lifted.
Italy is eager to welcome back tourists
The exact date of when this would be implemented has not yet been announced, but according to the news Italy will allow restaurants to re-open takeaway services and the manufacturing and construction sectors will also begin work from 4th May.
13 percent of the GDP of Italy depends on tourism, and so the country seems keen to welcome back the tourists once the threat of the pandemic is lifted. On Tuesday, the strict rules of lockdown might see some ease and will allow some movement within the region but inter-regional travel will still remain banned
How to avail the vouchers
Autumn is the best time of the year to visit Sicily. The island has pristine beaches, tons of historical and cultural sites. It is also a heaven for the gluttons. It would be a refreshing holiday post pandemic and help us recover from the blues. To get your own voucher, visit the website 'Visit Sicily' soon after the country opens its borders.
