Before the corona virus pandemic arrived in Italy,the big worry about tourism was overcrowding,as millions of tourists crowded the country's most popular spots like Florence,Rome and Venice.Then,with the pandemic,tourists disappeared.
According to most estimates,the tourism sector is not expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels until late 2023 or early 2024，but political leaders and many working in the sector are taking steps now to assure that,as the tourism strengthens,it avoids the former overcrowding problems in tourist centers.
"Italy should not emphasize the dependence on big tour buses that all pull into parking lots and overwhelm a small town for a few hours,but promote more high-quality tourism that shows visitors the country wonders beyond the few dozen places everyone knows about," Gianfranco Lorenzo,head of the research department for Florence's Center for Touristic Studies,says.There's no reason people should be lined up to see one famous site when there are many places that are just as important and just as impressive.
Those strategies are already in development.This summer many Italian cities are trying to focus the attention of visitors on outdoor attractions like sprawling gardens and architectural ruins,where visitors can remain spread out to keep corona-virus infection risks low.
Florence's Uffizi Galleries,one of the most visited museums in Italy,has launched the "Uffizi Diffusi" initiative which includes displaying some of its collections in museums in smaller towns to help draw tourists who might otherwise have spent their time in overcrowded Florence.
Lorenzo says reducing the impact of tourists does not mean the country will have to host fewer tourists in the future. "In a few years we could even have more tourists than we had before the pandemic," he says. "But for that to be sustainable,they just have to be spread out more evenly."
