“We are preparing 600 tourist packages that we will put on the market and give to those who stay at least 3 nights in Sicily,” said regional tourism councilor Manlio Messina.
The fund – approximately 50 million euros – will be used immediately, he guarantees, for discounts on flights, museums and attractions. “And for every 3 nights in a hotel, one will be free.” The region promises all possible discounts and gifts to attract tourists.
But this time, only for Italians. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Italy's borders remain closed to foreigners and there is no forecast for when they will reopen.
