(Finance) – “Young Italians? Students and off-site workers are also penalized for returning home during the holidays, due to an increase in costs of transport which, in many cases, makes a trip abroad cheaper. It is a problem we are sadly used to. The problem of returning to one’s loved ones increases the discomfort of a generation now chronically affected by an economic and social crisis”. As Maria Cristina Pisani, President of the National Youth Council (CNG), pointing out that the increase in the cost of airline tickets, compared to the same period of 2022, according to Assoutenti, reaches +71%.
“The increase in tourist flows, nationally and internationally, represents a signal encouraging for the tourism sector and the country’s economic recovery. But it is essential – adds Pisani – that institutions and transport companies work together to find solutions that make travel more accessible to all, without penalize citizens who, away from home for study or work reasons, want to return to their loved ones”.
