Catania Aims to Reach Two Million Arrivals in 2007
Catania Province - says its president, Raffaele Lombardo - could attract up to two million tourists in 2007. Last years’ numbers show a growing interest among international travelers:
France 81,111 arrivals
Germany 79,115 arrivals
USA 74,777 arrivals
Spain 60,486 arrivals
The new airport, new routes from numerous international destinations and more “all inclusive” packages will be promoted consistently to generate demand in these travel markets and help meeting the ambitious goal of two million arrivals in 2007.

There’s so much to see! The volcano Etna, Taormina and Catania with it’s monuments and and full of people in the evenings (many pubs and restaurants), Acireale, Acicastello, and all the small villages, like Forza d’Agrò and Savoca where some scenes of the Godfather were taken. Fiumefreddo has one of Italy’s cleanest beaches and it’s free! We’re glad the new airport is a great success!

@ MaFra:
I totally agree with you! And the food is also irresistible. But 2 million visitors sound too many.

I think that things are moving slowly, but in the right direction. Step by step, the goal is reachable.
