Vulnerable travellers should follow heat advice in these 14 Italian cities.

Italian authorities have issued a heatwave warning for 14 cities, urging vulnerable people to avoid outdoor activity.

Italy is sweltering through its first heatwave of the year, with temperatures expected to climb over 40°C in parts of the country.

The ‘orange alert’ was issued on 22 June and the cities included were Ancona, Bologna, Bolzano, Brescia, Campobasso, Florence, Frosinone, Latina, Perugia, Pescara, Rieti, Rome, Trieste and Verona.

“Heat wave climatic conditions can pose a risk to the health of the population,” the authorities warned.

Portofino has introduced 'no-waiting zones' to stop tourists posing for selfies


Picturesque Italian villages are suffering from overtourism. Portofino is taking a stand.

Portofino, a small seaside town on the Italian Riviera, has become a tourist hotspot - and locals are starting to feel the strain.

With colourful buildings surrounding the water, the town’s picturesque quay is prime Instagram material.

In summer, it means an influx of visitors posing for selfies, blocking paths and roads.

To combat this, Portofino’s mayor has introduced no-waiting zones. Anyone caught hanging around on the quay for too long between 10:30am and 6pm risks a fine of €270.

The town has just over 400 residents, but draws lots of tourists, with numbers sometimes exceeding 10,000. This results in overcrowded streets and traffic jams.

The ban aims to prevent large groups of tourists from congregating on the pier. It will be in place until the holiday season ends on 15 October.

Emirates Airline highlights a return to growth during ATM 2023

The travel sector has been resilient in facing the challenges presented by the pandemic, says Clark. Demand in leisure and hospitality will continue to be robust. Timothy Clark, President, Emirates Airline, has addressed travel and tourism delegates at Arabian Travel Market 2023. Speaking on the Global Stage with renowned aviation commentator John Strickland, Clark discussed the resurgence in passenger numbers that is being witnessed by the airline industry worldwide, as well as the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Addressing the performance of Emirates in the post-pandemic era, Clark said: “We used the period during the pandemic to carefully organise our resources and devise a solid plan which allowed us to kick-start as soon as skies opened again. After 30 years of operating the world’s largest airline and as one of the flagship carriers of the UAE, there simply was no option to sit back and stop.”

In the last quarter, Dubai has welcomed five million visitors, already exceeding pre-pandemic numbers. According to Clark, demand will continue to be as robust as it has been recently, and the leisure and hospitality sectors will see a big uptick in the next five to 10 years.

As ATM 2023 focuses on ‘Working Towards Net Zero’ Clark touched on the airline’s sustainability strategy: “The fuel from the aviation industry accounts for 2-2.5% of global emissions. As passenger numbers grow, so must our efforts to mitigate our carbon footprint. Emirates runs a number of sustainability initiatives across the business. Our first flight using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) took to the skies in 2017 and earlier this year we operated a demonstration flight using 100% SAF. We also recycled 500,000 kilograms of plastic and glass over the course of 2022. As far as we can, we try to offset.”
