Covid, Ismea: “For agritourisms -34% overnight stays, a smaller decrease compared to other forms of hospitality”

“During the pandemic in 2020, farmhouses took a step back by 10 years. There was a 34% decline in overnight stays in farmhouses, but this was the least setback among all other forms of hospitality in Italy. And for the agritourisms, with the diversification, there has not been a collapse in profitability thanks to e-commerce, home deliveries and meals, which have allowed the 25 thousand agritourisms to remain standing “. This was stated by Fabio Del Bravo, Ismea manager for rural development services, presenting the Ismea-Rrn report on agritourism and multifunctionality during the event ‘Agritourism and multifunctionality. Scenarios and future prospects for the sector ‘, organized by Ismea at’ Firenze Fiera ‘.
