SAN MARINO (ITALPRESS) – The Russian-Ukrainian war, the reception of refugees, the sanctions against Russia and the retaliation on the San Marino economic system, the balance sheet of Expo 2020 and the spring and summer events that were to start were at the center of the press conference held this morning by the State Congress of the Republic of San Marino, which was attended by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Luca Beccari, and the Secretary of State for Tourism Federico Pedini Amati. “At the moment there are a little less than 300 people from Ukraine on the Titan,” said Beccari. In proportion to the population, the Titan’s welcoming effort is very important: recognition also came from the ambassadors during April 1st.
Beccari then spoke about the visit, concluded a few days ago, by the IMF, a topic on which the Secretary of Tourism Pedini Amati also returned. “It is the first year since the government is in office that the tourist season has managed to start with the Easter holidays – underlines Pedini Amati. The Monetary Fund recognized that the tourism sector, in the months in which he was able to work, recorded very positive parameters. From the operators of the sector, the feedback for bookings is positive with growing numbers. From 1 May the holiday vouchers will also start again: meetings have already started to understand who you want to reach “. Pedini Amati recalls that in the last season 10,034 bookings were made through this tool. The percentage of overnight stays has also risen, which has passed over 2 nights. The calendar of events for the summer season is very rich: in May the secretary remembers the gathering of the Alpine troops (5-7 May). With regard to Expo 2020, San Marino “made itself known all over the world in a deserving and dignified manner, 390 thousand people who visited the San Marino pavilion, with the Domagnano Treasury showing the greatest interest”.
