Last Jubilee was in 2015 and it doesn’t appear that tourism spiked that much in 2015.

The whole country? Not sure what say Sicily or Turin have to do with this.

Everyone has to get funneled into a few airports. There is spillover from the thing in Rome. Dominoes, if you will.

They do? Why? There are many airports in Europe you could connect through to get to say Venice or Milan, for instance. You wouldn't get within 300 miles of Rome.

Could you anymore obtuse? Most people don’t just go to Rome….they take on other destinations in Italy. If people have something bringing them to Rome, chances are most of them are going to extend their travels beyond.

I feel like all.of these predictions are based on assumptions without any data.

For instance, there is significant data from past Olympics that it lowers overall tourism to the host country outside of the actual event time period. Not sure why people would assume an entire country which is already very popular for tourism would see some massive increase outside of the specific events/places.

What are you basing these predictions on?

OP again. This is what I'm wondering. We were in Paris before and during the Olympics last summer and crowds were lower than we were expecting.

I'm going this spring, but to Lake Como and Venice.

Unless you are a serious Catholic, this is a summer to skip Italy.

It means don’t go unless you love crowds

Book now. Hotels, excursions, etc. we booked 3 months ago for June.

Yes, of course. Crowds will be huge.

Absolutely. They are expecting record crowds in Rome, which I expect will translate into other parts of the country as well.

Will it being a Jubilee Year affect the crowd size in Italy, particularly Rome, this year?
