To enable the tourism sector to weather the crisis by limiting the damage to Italy is the overdrive. The State puts on the table a package of more than two billion euros, exclusively reserved for the funding of the vacation of the Italian families across the country.

However, as explained France Info, which cites several studies, only 20 to 25 % of the hotels would be likely to accept the device. Because the unknown remains for the hoteliers who, in the operation, know that they will be reimbursed by the State, but don't know when. "Someone that reservation in my hotel several nights for a price of 600 euros, for example, is not going to pay 200 euros, because the 400 remaining are the bonus holiday that I will be paid by the State, but I don't know when, says the manager of a hotel with France Info. This is not like that you can help us in this time. "
