Positive numbers for tourism in Sicily

Some positive numbers in the jungle of statistics about tourist incoming in Sicily in July:

Taormina successfully beyond the expectations .

Unlike in the rest of Sicily , in July Taormina had almost 150.000 visitors with an increasing number of foreigners +7% and less Italians -8%.

Jananese and American as last year while more and more visitors coming from some countries like:

Norway +52 %

Sweden +11%

Great Britain +19%

Russia + 39

Brasil +32%

Argentina +24%

-It's quite evident that the tourists are coming from the NO EURO ZONE countries

Ragusa is another great reality: still after many years from the coming out of the Inspector Montalbano its province had + 14% visitors every year since 1999!

I'm glad to read these "numbers" in a negative tourist season for us, local guides here and in the rest of Italy...

Alcuni dati confortanti nella giungla di statistiche sulle presenze alberghiere e sugli arrivi in Sicilia nel mese di Luglio:

Taormina decisamente in controtendenza rispetto al resto dell'isola (in generale calo di presenze nel 2012)

Nel mese di luglio Taormina registra quasi 150.000 visitatori (presenze alberghiere) con un incremento di stranieri + 7% ed un calo di italiani -8%..

Stazionari gli Americani ed i Giapponesi, ma in forte crescita gli arrivi da:

Norvegia ( + 52%)

Svezia (+ 11% ), dalla

Gran Breatgna ( +19% )

Russia (+39%)

Brasile (32%)

Argentina ( +24%)

Evidente che si tratta di paesi della no-Euro zone...

Altra piacevole sorpresa , direi ormai una conferma, è la provincia di Ragusa dove ancora sotto gli effetti del successo di Montalbano si registra ogni anno una crescita di presenze turistiche del +14%

Leggo con piacere questi dati in una stagione lavorativa per noi guide siciliane e del resto d'Italia poco confortante....

The caponata of the Inspector Montalbano... simply sciavurusa!

Yesterday I was at the street market in my Ortigia and I ate a wonderful caponata When it was served at my table that marvellous vision reminded me the description given by Andea Camilleri in one of the episodes of his popular Inspector: " The moment he opened the refrigerator, he saw it. Caponata! Fragrant, colourful, abundant, it filled an entire soup dish, enough for at least four people. It had been months since Adelina, his housekeeper, last made it for him. The bread, in its plastic bag, was fresh, bought this morning. The notes of the triumphal march of Aida came spontaneously, naturally, to his lips. Humming, he opened the French windows after turning the light one the veranda. Yes, it was a cool night, but still warm enough to eat outside. He set the little table, brought the dish, the wine, and the bread outside, and sat down " (Excursion to Tindari, Andrea Camilleri) There were three Dutch tourists reading carefully the menu close to me
