La Puglia destagionalizza: 550 mila euro per gli "ospiti"

Not only sea, not only summer: Puglia focuses on seasonal adjustment of arrivals. To increase the tourist attractiveness in medium and low season, through the organization of events of cultural interest, the Department of Tourism of the Puglia Region has issued a public notice addressed to the Municipalities of Puglia: 550 thousand Euros available for hosting opinion leaders , authors, journalists, TV crews, bloggers interested in destination Apulia, or engaged in specific events, in all months of the year with the exception of August.
The initiatives of hospitality proposed by the municipalities can not exceed a period of seven days and must contain a detailed plan of activities and the precise indication of the expected guests. Preference will be co-marketing initiatives.
Applications must be submitted to the Tourism Service, which carries out the evaluation, at least 45 days before the proposed event. "We have taken this initiative - said the Head of Tourism, Silvia Godelli - in order to punctuate our whole territory of quality events that enrich the offer and help local municipalities, possibly in co-marketing with tour operators and with other public and private, to achieve significant initiatives at a time of severe financial difficulties for local authorities.
