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....

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

Back to school!

I'm exausted! In these days students are coming back to school In a book shop I saw this lovely school agenda...( Il Diario ) TO choose the new diario was a nice thing to do with my friends. Everybody, among girls, was curios to see the others' agenda and then, through the school year fill it with drawings, puzzles of photoes, phrases, songs ...and homework (sometimes) as well. If I were still at school, i think this would be my agenda!!!
