confronti-turismo 2016
The analysis of tourism in Ticino allows analyzing the interplay between positive and negative dynamics on the one hand, and its peculiarities in comparison with potential competitors from Switzerland and Europe, on the other.
The 2016 edition of confronti-turismo highlights some of these differences. The presentations will describe the different dynamics influencing urban and rural tourism and illustrate some of the key factors and trends in the hospitality sector and in secondary homes, focusing on products and services that are best suited to attract visitors from different source markets.
The program includes a first part dedicated to presentations by guest speakers. In the second part, after an introduction by O-Tur researchers on the peculiarities of Ticino, the event will propose a round table. Guests will present their experiences and will discuss different issues, interacting with the public.
