Naples Experiences Unprecedented Tourism Boom

"In Naples, we are facing a tourism boom that we were not used to, with hundreds of thousands of people arriving. Over the last Easter weekend, we had more than 200,000, some say 300,000 visitors," said Mayor Gaetano Manfredi, present at the presentation at Mic of the seventh edition of Pompeii Theatrum Mundi 2024, the summer festival, realized by the Theater of Naples-National Theater and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, which will present from June 13 to July 13 in the Great Theater of the archaeological park four shows signed by important directors and artists. "It is clear that the city is put under pressure, from transport to our traffic management system," observes Manfredi. "It is a great effort that we must make and we are always improving. We are equipping ourselves for a tourist city that works 12 months a year." "For us, it is also an extraordinary opportunity. The tourists, especially foreigners who choose Naples today and who then sleep in the city, with very long stays, also give us the opportunity to relaunch the offer of the entire metropolitan area and to create great job opportunities, value creation. We are working hard and are happy that Naples finds the favor of so many people who come from all over the world," concluded the mayor.
