more Russian tourists in Sicily, again?

In questi giorni si tirano un pò le somme, a proposito di flussi turistici nella stagione estiva 2011.

Sui quotidiani, carta stampata, giornali on line e tv...

Qualche incremento nel settore straniero, un calo degli italiani..alberghi pieni...

Spesso le voci sono un pò contraddittorie.

A volte il miglior termometro della situazione non sono le statistiche ma la gente del luogo, chi opera realmente nel settore.

Questo cartello sulla vetrina di un ristorante di Taormina ci incoraggia un pò.

In effetti, passeggiando per le vie del centro, si sente parlare inglese e tanto tanto russo!!

A Siracusa, non credo di aver visto un cartello scritto in russo...

Minori presenze di russi in questa città o semplicemnte poca capacità imprenditoriale e di marketing?

-------------------------------------

As far as tourist incoming ,in these days local and national newspapers, web and Tv are giving news about this last summer season: more foreigners, less Italians, hotels full..

Sometimes, information given are self-contradictory.

More than statistics, the local people working on touristic field are the best sign of the real situation.

I found this sign in the window of a restaurant in Taormina and it makes us a little bit positive..

Actually,walking along the main corso in Taormina you hear speaking in English and more and more Russian..

I don't think I have seen such kind of Russian signs in Siracusa:less Russian tourists or more simply less marketing and entrepreneurship ??

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth century farmhouse, once property of the Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever what rigorously the family produce and cook for you! Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun.... an extraordinary view from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
