Tourism in Palazzolo with the French
This way, the aim is to grow Palazzolo Acreide's international brand, with one of the largest Michelin groups choosing Palazzolo as a stopover. There are 34 groups of 60 people who will take turns in Palazzolo throughout the months of September and October."This collaboration has kept us busy for months," explains Tourism Councilor Maurizio Aiello, "with site inspections, logistical support, planning, and educational activities, and ultimately led to the desired outcome."
Tourists arriving between September and October
The councilor explains that in this way it will be possible to make the town known to 2040 French people who will take turns in Palazzolo throughout September and October. The special feature is that they will arrive in vintage cars on a tour organized by Alternative Sicily, which specializes in corporate tours. A major tourism brand chooses PalazzoloThis becomes an excellent means of promotion for Palazzolo, which is in a positive phase from a tourist point of view, due to the presence of tourist flows, the involvement in many international initiatives such as tourism fairs, and a busy calendar of events continues to produce results. “We are on the right track, but obviously it is always and only a starting point – concludes Aiello – we continue to do and sow, convinced more than ever that the experiential tourism, cultural and gastronomic is the keystone of this territory and of the entire mountain area".
Slow tourism in autumn
The activities will continue in October. There will be a program dedicated to slow tourism "slow travel". "We want to qualify the offer and give the tourists who come to Palazzolo the opportunity to rediscover the natural rhythms of life – adds Aiello. "We all need to believe with enthusiasm and enthusiasm in this challenge for our territory that can truly change the future of our community." In this way, the mountain municipality is preparing for the autumn season. As has already happened this year, the program will include the participation in the international fairs of tourism. This goal must be achieved in collaboration with the other municipalities in the Val di Noto. The data collected last year is already an important indicator of the flows we can intercept.
