At Christmas and during the holiday period, travel and travel will be strongly discouraged, and the government has launched the new dpcm that contains severe restrictions for citizens who wish to communicate with their loved ones to spend the holidays together.
Mandatory quarantine from abroad from December 21 to January 6, and mandatory tampons from 10 onwards, carried out 48 hours before returning to Italy for those leaving 27 EU countries (and the UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Andorra, Principality Munich, according to the updated list contained in an annex to the decree), certainly discourages tourists and vacationers. Even because even those entering Italy from January 7 to 15 will have to undergo quarantine, having stayed or passed through other countries, for tourism, between December 21 and January 6. However, these rules will not prevent many Italians from returning home, despite the recommendations to avoid meetings and reunions between non-partners.
Also because the block to travel between Regions, regardless of color, from December 21 to January 6, does not apply to those who must return to their residence, domicile or home, or to those who in any case will move for the usual reasons of health, work or emergency, which allow, for example, to reach those who have an elderly parent who only attend. Therefore, a large flow of people on the move is expected, at stations and airports, both on the hottest days, those close to the bus stop, on December 18, 19 and 20, and in general throughout the month of December. .
And indeed, airlines have already seen increases in bookings. A worrying fact, if we take into account that precisely in the Christmas holidays we run the risk of losing the effect of closures and zoning, which fell to the national RT with the danger that in January we will find ourselves fighting with a third wave and with the specter of a new general blockade. Yesterday Alitalia announced that in the last week (November 26-December 3) the new reservations to fly in the week 14-20 December have determined an increase of 50%, and those to fly in the week 21-27 December an increase 13%. But there was also a boom in train and bus reservations.
The alarm Confturismo-Confcommercio
Seen from another point of view, the economic one, the news of full flights and trains, would not be negative, because Confturismo-Confcommercio has already raised the alarm: “With transfers between the Regions effectively blocked until January and the holidays that will be spent in the Municipalities of residence, there will not be another 10.3 million tourists between the end of December and January only in the tourist accommodation facilities (3, 9 foreigners and 6.4 Italians) who would have spent no less than 8,500 million euros “. Naturally, the concern is above all about closed ski lifts, about restaurants and bars that will not be able to open at night (but will only be able to work with takeout and home delivery), and about hotels, which will be operational, but that will not be able to offer to customers. the usual New Year’s Eve dinner: this year only dinners in the room and with very few close friends.
