Shopping malls, signs of recovery 4 weeks after reopening over the weekend

Restart signals for over 1,300 Italian shopping centers and parks. “We are doing the first checks on 2019, that is pre-pandemic, and the data tell us that we are ‘only’ at -14.2% of admissions compared to the same period two years ago. A very comforting figure because it means that we should reach September to normal “. To make an initial assessment with Adnkronos is Roberto Zoia, president of the CNCC (National Council of Shopping Centers) after four weeks of reopening also on the weekend, from 18 May to last Sunday 13 June. The time horizon for a real full-scale recovery in the shops of shopping centers, parks and outlets is in any case September because, explains the manager, “the summer season does not help sales, people want to go to the beach on Saturdays and On Sunday, however, the sales will begin in July. In September there is expectation with the schools, we hope that the vaccination campaign will be more advanced and fewer people in smart working “. Some shopping centers also function as vaccination hubs. “We proudly have 23 operating today, where on average 30,000 vaccinations are carried out per day with an average of 1,000 vaccines at the commercial center, which represents about 5% of the Italian population”, says Cncc president Roberto Zoia.
