Нови италијански министар туризма бира мотоцикле уместо ВТМ-а

Daniela Santanchè inaugurated the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Rho, Milan, on November 8. The exhibition references 2-wheeled motor vehicles, which only marginally touches on the travel sector, but she chose this for her first public debut.

This was, however, an important absence of Minister Santanchè from the World Travel Market (WTM) in London which ran from November 7 to 9 – an absence certainly noted by world travel operators, representatives of world countries, by the management of WTM, and by the Italian National Agency for Tourism, ENIT, who organized a maxi stand of 1,700 square meters at WTM London.

At EICMA, Santanchè highlighted the importance of the two-wheeler sector for the Italian tourism sector, and of the cycle and motorcycle for the Italian economy. Santanchè recalled the great visibility of the fair, defining it as “the most important in the world.”

She then paused with Giacomo Agostini, the legend of motorcycling, recalling her past as a biker and recalled the weight of the victory of Francesco Bagnaia, known as Pecco, is an Italian motorcycle rider. In 2018, he won the Moto2 world championship, becoming the first rider of the Sky Racing TeamVR46 team to win a world title, who retained a symbol for the image of Italy in the world by the Minister.

Santanchè then focused on the importance of slow tourism on 2 wheels and stated that туризам is the driving force of the Italian economy. A sort of “social lift for young people who must understand its extent.”

She then added that:

“The Meloni government will invest more in tourism than we can define as the oil of Italy.”

And she promised an increase in cycle paths – not only in urban centers, but also in areas where bicycles and motorcycles will be able to develop slow tourism, which has seen an increase in recent years.
