Amalfi Coast tourism shifts as high season extends past October

Tourism patterns on the Amalfi Coast, specifically in Minori, are shifting as the high season now extends beyond October. Despite this change in global travel habits, local infrastructure and services have not fully adapted. Many beach clubs still dismantle their facilities at the end of September, and public transportation services have reduced evening routes, making movement difficult for those without private vehicles.

While the rise of vacation homes and bed and breakfasts may support year-round operations for local restaurants and bars, there are growing environmental concerns. Recent devastating fires have left the terrain vulnerable, raising fears that upcoming seasonal rains could cause serious issues. There is a call for local authorities to improve municipal structures to better accommodate visitors during cooler or rainy periods.
