Christmas 2016: an extraordinary success for Naples and the Campania Handicraft

At the end of Christmas holliday and with the arrival of New Year, it's time to do records and watch the results obtained in Neapolitan and Campania tourism sector that have touched numbers never achieved before. 

 

Do you think that only for Immaculate weekend, it speaks, only for Naples, of 65000 passengers arrived at Capodichino airport; a long river of tourists to enjoy the gribs of San Gregorio Armeno, with Naples that continues to attract tourists even in 2016 (after a boom in 2015) with a +18,9%.

 

During the Christmas period, it was about the 97% of hotels fully booked, an aircraft and a rail traffic which has never reached a lively activities as in the last months, as well as that Italo has increased the trains to Naples and one of the largest companies of low cost air travel has landed in Naples: we are talking of Ryanair, which with 17 destinations, made of Capodichino one of the busiest airports between 27 bases that it already has in Italy. 

 

It is, therefore, thanks to these improvements that tourists from all corners of Italy, of Europe and, perhaps, of the world, were able to visit our wonderful art sites (among the most popular of Italy, Pompeii on top) and make a trip even in the beautiful Amalfi Coast and Vietri, where, among the rest, they were able to admire with their eyes the fabulous work of our Masters potters.

 

Furthermore, regarding the Ceramics and Handicraft Campano in general, it must be said that this area, Christmas 2016 brought tremendous growth in terms of number and turnover, a growth that does not already recorded for years.

 

Great vehicle for the Arts, were the much visited Christmas markets (the most famous are the Castello di Limatola, those on the waterfront of Salerno and on the course of Bacoli) and the fabulous shops of shepherds of San Gregorio Armeno (one the most visited places in the Campania region in the past two months), where just the craft business has been extremely successful, even at the expense of the giants of the franchise, promoting exclusivity, customization and originality that only a handmade product can give.

 

For our part, we hope that this success of Naples, Campania and crafts, continuous and is always on the increase, bringing with it the vitality of these past days, but to serve, above all, to all as a stimulus to improve more more.
