Tourism fuels improving italy economy

The European Commission has recently forecast Italy's economic growth at 0.6 per cent for this year, increasing further in 2016 to 1.4 per cent. This positive progression has been prompted mostly by external demand and investment, with foreign tourism becoming a key element.

The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index 2015, constructed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), highlights the significance of Italy's growing tourism industry, jumping to 8th position in the rankings, having only been placed 26th in 2013.

With a vast array of landscapes, from stunning golden coastlines and iconic sweeping countryside to the snow-kissed mountains of the Dolomite range, Italy abounds with natural splendour.

Terre Gialle Residence & Resort is situated on the slopes of Mount Amiata in Tuscany, and Marketing Manager Simone Rossi explains how its nature-furnished location has sparked a wealth of interest:

"We have definitely noticed an increase of enquiries related to the natural charm of Tuscany when speaking to potential buyers, with specific interest in relation to the area and what Mount Amiata has to offer, something that just cannot be found elsewhere. Our estate overlooks some of Tuscany's most pristine countryside, and with a majority of it still waiting to be discovered, the wild Maremma has the potential to provide visitors with the sought after familiarity of beautiful Tuscany, combined with a more exclusive and diverse natural setting."
