Dear friends, all Travel Mall blog staff would like to send you a  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from these “new” pages.

We hope you will stay with us next year too!!

Welcome in our blog, a new voice for tourism in Italy. In this post we would like to let you know how private companies and government bodies are working really hard to improve the tourist offer in Italy. This week we begin to write about Rome that, in an important meeting on tourism, was shown as a model to follow all over Italy.

The Roman secret, was said, is to combine tourism, cultural heritage and events, trying also to threw out innovative ideas; this is the only way to follow for a true new success of Italian tourism. A first confirmation of this came few days ago from the rating company “Standard & Poors” that assigned an “A+” to the economy budget of the city of Rome consolidating the trend of the last years. Also the overall reservations in the hotels of Rome confirm this new trend.

In the most part of Italy yards connected to tourism are working really hard. In the Liguria region, where Genoa & Santa Margherita Ligure are located and where tourism has now a positive trend since many years, there are projects for “sea railways” in order to use the sea as a tourist and public transportation mean. The Emilia Romagna region, with the famous cities and towns of Bologna and Parma, among the others, is investing a lot of money in the airports. The Abruzzo region is working hard in view of the Mediterranean Games of 2009. As Florence has the ambition to become part of the 250 “provincial capital” of the world, their public managers are studying special promotions of cultural events and they are projecting a new event to set up during the low season. Naples, after the “restyling” of last years, is focusing on safety along 7 tourist itineraries and all hotels in Naples are ready to pamper their guests.

Welcome to your new Travel Blog dedicated to Italy. In these pages you will find updated information
on events that will happen in the Italian tourist towns and cities, news about hotels, shopping suggestions,
photos, tours, travel experiences.

In few words if you love Italy or if you would like to visit this country this is the right place for you!
