Knowledge Of Tourism in Italy
Tourism is one of Italy's major industries, employing some 23,000 people. Italy is the world's fifth most visited county according to the World Tourism Organization, a United Nations agency based in Madrid. Popular destinations for tourism in Italy include Venice, Florence and Rome. This article will look at some popular types of tourism in Italy. Whilst the Mediterranean attracts a lot of tourists from Northern Europe who are attracted by its climate and its beaches, Americans are more likely to head to domestic destinations, to the Caribbean or to Mexico for those purposes. So this article will concentrate on other forms of tourism in Italy.
Historical Tourism in Italy
Rome, the "Eternal City" is the primary destinationfor historically based tourism in Italy. Once the seat of the world's mightiest empire, Rome's draw as a tourist destination continues to this day. The Coliseum is one of the world's most famous and instantly recognizable landmarks, and is depicted on the Italian version of the 5-cent Euro coin. Built around 71 AD, its original name was the Flavian Amphitheater, named after the Roman Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus, who commissioned the building. It was the site of the brutal gladiatorial games where men fought to the death for the entertainment of the masses.
Rome is the world's smallest sovereign state covering a mere 0.Tiananmen Square in Beijing has the same size! Catholics in particular will want to check out the Vatican, being the spiritual center of their faith, but even non-Catholics can enjoy the magnificent art and architecture contained therein.
Skiing Tourism in Italy
Italy is also home to a number of ski resorts. Mont Blanc, on the Italian-Swiss border, is Europe's highest mountain and is cold enough for almost year-round skiing. Courmayeur is the ski resort on the Italian side of Mont Blanc and attracts visitors from all over the world, including the US. The resort's website boasts that more languages are spoken there than at the UN.
Cortina is located in the Dolomite Mountains which is an up-market Italian ski resort. Unlike Courmayeur, it is more popular with Italians than with overseas visitors, so it is worth visiting if you believe in going where the locals go when traveling. You may still spot the occasional American celebrity there – Sylvester Stallone, who filmed Cliffhanger in the Dolomites, has been known to pay the occasional return visit to Cortina.
Culinary Tourism in Italy
Italy is also famous for its food and wine, and there are travel companies that specialize in tours allowing you to sample various regional dishes and visit some vineyards too. One such is Cellar Tours, which offers tours of Italy that include samplings of wines, cheeses and balsamic vinegars. You also get to visit some of Italy's most beautiful locations, and all trips are individually tailored to your needs. In this type of high end tours you get to live in luxury hotels and are driven in your own chauffeured Mercedes. Ideal for a romantic getaway, or just for lovers of the finer things in life.
