In a move to reboot its tourism sector, the regional government has confirmed that it will cover a third of visitor’s hotel expenses, as well as entry to attractions on the island.
For crystal-clear waters, picturesque hikes and greatantipasti, there are few places better than the island of Sicily.
If your own country allows...the Italian island is offering a major incentive for all those who visit in the coming months.
The discounts will also apply to ‘non-hotel accommodation facilities, agriturismi (farm stays), travel agencies, tour operators and registered tour guides, according to The Local.
The ‘See Sicily’ voucher scheme is costing the island a fair amount, which it hopes to recoup quickly as tourists book cheap post-lockdown breaks.
Originally, the scheme was slated to only apply to travelers visiting Sicily in autumn 2020, but authorities are now saying it could run until December 2021.
The vouchers aren’t available yet, but should be available on the Visit Sicily website soon.
