Tourism in Covid-19’s times: waiting for the rebirth of life

More than a year has passed since the Covid-19 pandemic has broken out and seriously impacted on anybody’s mental state. As the World Health Organization (WHT) claims: “people are experiencing fear, worry and stress“, due to the consequent and inevitable health, social and economic problems caused by the virus.

People are still obliged to restrictions on their movements and relationships. For that reason, everybody is filled with a strong longing to move and travel as soon as possible and to live and be responsible for his or her own life again. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) “tourism is among the most affected sectors” by this emergency “with airplanes on the ground and hotels closed“.

Human contact and interactions, beauty, nature are all the key-words of our future life and holidays! Nature and immersion in it, no doubt, are valuable resources for our psychophysical wellbeing.

In Sicily beauty and Nature are protagonists, for sure! Sicily is not just an italian island, it is the biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Owing to its strategic position and the abundance of natural resources, the island has become crossroads of cultures and symbol of historical, artistic and enogastronomic pluralities. This land is unique and extremely characteristic, really rich in colours and fragrances. Last but not least, food is so tasty! So, when borders are all open, come and visit us, we are really looking forward for that!
