Italy seeing significant increase in golf visitors

ITALY has enjoyed a significant increase in the number of #golf visitors in recent times, with international bookings having risen by an impressive 25% over the last two years of growth.

With Italy Golf & More, the first pan-Italian international promotional golf project, providing the driving force, latest figures show that the number of rounds played by international golfers in the country has gone up by around a quarter since 2015.

Green fee bookings rose by around 15 per cent in 2016 and have increased by a further 10 per cent so far this year, with a rise in numbers reported in regions across the north and south of #Italy.

The likes of Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto and Sicily have all seen international numbers rise in the last 12 months, while the number of foreign golfers playing rounds in the regions of Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia Giulia has almost doubled during the same period.

Floating Piers to let visitors walk over Italy’s Lake Iseo

#ITALY is expecting to draw at least half a million visitors after the floating piers on #LakeIseo by the artist Christo Yavachev, open this month (June). 

The Bulgaria-born artist and his team has been assembling and anchoring almost 220,000 polyethylene floating cubes to form of a 1.8-mile walkway since November last year. The walkway will connect the mainland with two of the islands in Lake Iseo in Lombardy. Monte Isolo is one of the islands, which only uses boats as the method of communication with the mainland.

‘For the first time, for 16 days from June 18 to July 3, people will walk on the water!’ said,’ said Mr Yavachev, who has funded the venture.
