holidays in Egypt, Lara's farewell to half
Gusatto
Where do Italians who chose North Africa before the riots. Between January and February diverted tourists in Zanzibar and the Caribbean. Now the (cautious) return to normal. Only Sharm knows no crisis
The most violent days of the insurgency seem finished, the Foreign Ministry has taken the plunge, the charter went back to flying, but most of the Italian tourists and uncertainty wavers abstains "After a crisis are the last to start, "said Francesco Granese Assotravel manager. But you can not make a speech that is unique to two different countries as Tunisia and Egypt and even in the same land of the pharaohs, the situation changes depending on the area: Sharm good, still stuck in Cairo.
Tunisia. There are about 400 thousand Italians who annually choose Tunisia as a destination for holidays. Due to political uncertainties this destination also suffered many losses in terms of lost revenue and the country is reorganizing to better welcome visitors. Mustapha Nasri, director of the National Tunisian Tourism in Italy, he rattles off some figures: "In just over a month we lost 40% of Italian tourists who annually visit our country." But the situation has aroused less emphasis in the tour operator for the months of January-February-March are not considered high season the area attracts tourists, especially from April to May - says Granese of Assotravel - then the damage was limited " trend confirmed by Sergio Texts, director of tour operating group Alpitour "until May Tunisia has a marginal weight, so it has time to recover. "
Egypt. A completely different situation than in Egypt, chosen in 2010 to more than one million Italians and 14 million tourists in the world. Here the warm months for tourism were the ones from the boiling point of view of the riots, creating huge losses to the sector which accounts for 11% of the GDP of the country. An estimate? According to the Egyptian Tourist Office, the figure is around 18 million € daily throughout the month of February. While it is still too early to quantify the damage done by the Italian tour operators "in addition to the cost of repatriation of our compatriots and the non-employment - explains Roberto Corbella Astoi president - there will be assessed the costs per la ripresa, quantificabili solo alla fine della stagione".
Destinazioni alternative. Impossibilitati a recarsi in Egitto o in Tunisia, dove si sono diretti gli italiani? Chi aveva già prenotato è stato "dirottato" sua mete simili per tipologia di vacanza, clima, costo e tempi di percorrenza. Gli operatori si sono complessivamente fatti trovare pronti e preparati di fronte a questa crisi - racconta Danilo Mimmi, coordinatore consulenza giuridica di Vacanze d'Egitto, addio a metà
CTS ancora prima della riapertura delle prenotazioni avevano già moltissime richieste e secondo i dati di Alpitour nella sola settimana di Carnevale sono partiti sei voli per Sharm, certo un numero notevolmente inferiore ai 15-20 previsti di solito in this period, but certainly a good prospect for the future.
The stain spreads. Costa Cruises has announced the replacement of its airports in Tunisia, Egypt and Israel throughout 2011. Tunis will be replaced by Malta, Palma de Mallorca and Cagliari, while the Israeli and Egyptian ports will be replaced by Limassol (Cyprus), Rhodes and Antalya (southwestern Turkey). In the first two cases, the issue revolves around safety and the need to guarantee our customers the route, in the case of Israel is adequate. "The crisis that is affecting the North Africa - do you know da Costa Cruises - has had a negative effect on reservations that include Israel in their journey, showing a forte preoccupazione ed incertezza da parte di numerosi clienti". Ragion per cui anche Haifa è stata cancellata. Stessa sorte ha coinvolto altre zone "abbiamo avuto un calo di prenotazioni sulla Giordania - dicono dalla TUI - perché associata all'instabilità nell'area del Nord Africa, è un condizionamento psicologico".
