An important collaboration for us, considering the trend of tourist flows to Sicily. Flows that, more and more, speak Chinese: in fact, in 2016, China ranked as the largest tourism market, in terms of spending and the number of trips abroad, settling above the US and Germany, and as a consequence, a very attractive tourist market for Sicily, also and especially in terms of hospitality offer. Furthermore, the tourist flows coming from Russia should not be underestimated: according to the data of November 2017 generated by the analysis service of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia who studied, among other things, the trips by Russians to Sicily , it turned out that they have been progressively increasing in 2017, with a + 75%, according to data from the Regional Tourist Observatory.

The contribution of the Catania Fontanarossa Airport was also stimulated by the growth of the tourist flow, which in 2017 registered transit for 9.1 million passengers, of which 614,537 transits only in December 2016 (an increase percentage of +5.18 compared to the previous year). Among the incoming and outgoing passenger flows, Germany is the country with the highest number of passengers direct or coming from the airport of Catania: over 627 thousand in 2017 (+ 7%), followed by the passengers of the United Kingdom with 338 thousand users (+ 12%) and Malta. The evolutions foresee new routes to / from new countries, which enrich the offer and to fill the tourist flows. And, of course, also the request for stays in hotel and accommodation facilities that can meet the needs of the new tourist wave, efficiently and with an offer of excellent quality.
