Back in April, when many of us still doubt naivety, the pandemic will end in the summer, I report That Sicily It is making vacationers a proposal that they cannot refuse.
To make up for the billions of dollars in lost tourism revenue and to get locals back to work, the legendary island has proposed a bold plan to subsidize tourism visits. All admission fees for the museum will be waived for a period of time, one of every three hotel nights will be free, and visitors will receive a 50% discount on air tickets.
The government has put 545 million euros on the plan.
Needless to say, this story has attracted a lot of attention. and then. . . cricket.
No further information appears Sicily’s official travel website For once the trip is resumed, how to take advantage of the offer.
Today, I have some good news and some bad news.
according to pauseIsland authorities said the plan has been extended to December 2021. Visits to the museum will be free and there will be some vouchers for free stays, although there will no longer be a 50% discount on air tickets.
Even more worrying is that the Sicily government has not provided any details on how visitors can obtain credentials and special privileges. Now there is a Web page Dedicated to “see Sicily Voucher Program”, but this is just a placeholder.
“We are currently defining the program “Look at Sicily” The website said: “The voucher program aimed at supporting the tourism sector in Sicily during the post-imposition phase of Covid-19.
“Information of the tour operators who want to participate in the program “See Sicily Island“It will be published soon.”
What do we suggest? If you want to try to take advantage of the offer – hopefully it will be safe enough for traveling in summer and fall, although who knows? – Tag us link to the page above. The money was designated by the government in the spring of 2020. Therefore, we think the plan will move forward one day. Hopefully one day it will match the Americans’ final return to Europe.
