[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this jubilee crowd? [/quote]

OP here.  I didn't get that impression.  [/quote]

Tourism is going to be up, 20-30%, throughout Italy this year due to pilgrims because of the jubilee. I would not have planned a trip to Italy this year.[/quote]

Do you have evidence to support this claim for areas outside of Rome? [/quote]

“Evidence” lol? It is a freaking jubilee year in Italy. Res ipsa loquitor.[/quote]

I'd agree with you as it relates to Rome.  [b]Not sure why it would also apply to the rest of the country.  [/b]There is significant evidence of much higher tourism to Italy post-covid generally.  Pretty easy to conflate that with "Jubilee traffic".[/quote]

Because many/most who go to Rome will travel elsewhere in Italy as well. Florence/Venice/etc will be well above usual numbers for months.[/quote]

Right, except that recent evidence from large events like the Olympics show that they actually produce lower overall tourism numbers outside of the specific event periods, because people are "scared off" by the prospect of disruption, etc.

Had a friend who was actually in Rome and Venice a few weeks ago.  Said both were busy, but main Jubilee evidence they saw were huge groups of teenagers in Rome- apparently there as part of big organized tours.  Said primary tourist areas were busy, but as usual once you got away from the primary areas it wasn't crazy.[/quote]
