Italy Loses Billions in US Tourism This Year; COVID-19 Discourages Millions from Visiting

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Italy has lost billions of dollars in American tourism this year, the Drudge Report website reports today (July 25, 2020).

Some six million U.S, travelers usually choose Italy for their vacation each year.

As Europe transitions out of the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, only a handful of non-EU nations have been added to a "safe list for essential travel only."

Europe receives about 16 million arrivals from the U.S. each year, with almost half concentrated across Italy, so the loss this year for Italy is significant.
