BIT Digital Edition
In Italy travels of proximity with fantasy
Large horizons and large outdoor holiday spaces are the great needs of post-Covid travel presented at BIT Digital Edition.
Rafting on Ticino, kitesurfing on Lake Garda, trekking on the Cammini and the Alte Vie. Bicycle on dirt roads, cycle paths and large cycle routes are just some of the proposals "active" of Lombardy.
In Piedmont you can go to the discovery of castles, vineyards and villages still little known thanks to the vouchers with the possibility to triple the stay, buying the first night: in the structures that adhere to the offer (valid until the end 2021) 2 nights out of 3 are free. With the initiative "Holiday Working" the region also wants to attract international smart workers especially from Northern Europe, such as Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Norway and Sweden, France, UK and Finland.
Also in the North, in Liguria this year you look beyond the sea to propose open-air experiences: theAlta Via dei Monti Liguri, is a system of green routes connecting Ventimiglia to the other end of the Region, above La Spezia. Meanwhile, future visitors can go to the discovery of Ligurian villages previewing with Labirinti in Liguria, the interactive game to discover its secrets through an app.
In the centre of Italy, Abruzzo points on Bike-to-coast with Abruzzo bike friendly, the cyclovia of more than 100 km on the green roads of the Adriatic, with which he won the Oscar of cycling. For the 2021 season he is launching the ‘Trekking Friendly’ program for those who want to find open spaces after lockdowns.
If instead after the long months of confinement you are thinking of giving you the luxury "once in a lifetime", a perfect destination could be Punta Tragara in Capri, covid-free island. It is a spectacular villa designed by Le Corbusier, which seems to emerge from the living rock of the promontory and transformed into five luxury stars structure.
Again in the South, an experience to "live as once" is sleeping in a trullo in Puglia; while in the nearby Basilicata, another experience outside the scheme is sleeping in one of the many boutique hotels in the Sassi di Matera. From the five stars like Quarry, Sant’Angel or Aquatio Cave, which combine luxury and experientiality, to the charming B&B scattered throughout the old town.
Sicily has also started the promotion "one night offer every 3 nights confirmed", with its tourist promotion company See Sicily. For lovers of food and wine tourism, why not try a Wine Road other than those less known and beaten? Like 13 Roads of wine and flavors of Sicily, for example: from Marsala Wine Road to DOC Road such as Alcamo and Erice. Or maybe combining the passion for good wine and good food with that for vintage cars on the Via della Targa Florio.
Outside nature, sustainability and security
Nature, sustainability and safety are the leitmotiv of medium-long-range holiday proposed BIT Digital Edition.
In Asia, the Malaysia offers new itineraries that enhance lesser destinations such as Terengganu, Kelantan, Penang and Sarawak in slow tourism with hiking or cycling and meditation sessions, all in luxury format accessible in boutique hotel. Even the Thailand prepare alternative and safe routes.
Conjugation to safety sustainability is also the proposal of the Dominican Republic that offers active experiences in parks, beaches, lagoons, bays, forests, while the Seychelles, which represent for many "the" dream holiday, aim to programs to involve visitors in sustainability.
Always off Africa, an unhealthy experience of "food routes" is proposed by Madagascar with its cocoa routes dedicated to the precious local variants. In Namibia you can instead go to the discovery of the fascinating abandoned colonial cities of Germany, in perfect Nordic style and semi-sepolated by sand.
Closer to us, Scotland offers truly unique experiences such as sleeping in a lighthouse like the Rua Reidh Lighthouse, as well as the unmissable Edinburgh and Lochness, also growing Highlands excursions and visits to the picturesque island of Skye.
On the other hand, safety is the distinguishing number of proposals for authentic tourist icons such as Canary Islands, Ibiza or Formentera. For those who point to the "new Europe" unmissable, for example, the salt mines of Wieliczka in Poland, real cathedrals excavated in the psalm, or the castles and selves of Slovakia. Among the corners of the Mediterranean to be discovered is then Croatia, Egypt or Tunisia, while from the Middle East stand out Dubai, Jordan and IsraelFirst covid-free country in the world.
