Tourism growth in Italian municipalities

Overview

Various Italian municipalities are experiencing growth in tourism and cultural engagement. In Gorizia, local landmarks and events, such as celebrations at Gorizia Castle and a jazz concert at Palazzo De Grazia, have seen high attendance. Morrovalle has reported a substantial increase in arrivals between 2020 and 2025, with international tourism specifically rising by over 530%.

Similarly, Vasto has reported a significant increase in tourism during 2026, driven largely by international visitors and demand for natural sites like Punta Penna and Punta Aderci. While the historic center has seen increased evening activity, local operators noted a decrease in foot traffic in the Marina area. Although average stay durations have shortened to four or five nights, experts suggest promoting macro-area tourism along the Costa dei Trabocchi to better integrate coastal resources.
