Deseasonalising the tourist offer in Calabria through a calendar of 20 non-professional competitive events. From skiing to padel, from kitesurfing to tennis: enthusiasts of different sports will arrive from all the Italian regions and they will have the opportunity to discover Calabria thanks to the events that will be realised with the contributions of the call for Major Tourist Events of a Sporting Nature promoted by the Region of Calabria.
The meeting between the Region's Councillor for Tourism, Fausto Orsomarso, and the representatives of the proposing associations made it possible to define a single, integrated programme of events that will increase tourist flows in the low season.
ports tourism is able to generate an enormous induced activity for the economy of our region: "In Calabria - explains councillor Orsomarso - we have the sun 340 days a year, which is why we must aim to have presences well beyond the months of July and August. Tourism generated a GDP of 12% before Covid, our goal is to reach 20-25% so as to multiply stable job opportunities."
Many tourists also like to practise sport during their holidays, an element that ensures a longer stay in tourist resorts.
Many are the villages and towns that will host the events: Cassano allo Ionio, Scalea, Corigliano-Rossano, Cosenza, Amantea, Acquappesa, Rende, Cetraro, Lamezia Terme, Catanzaro, Gizzeria, Reggio Calabria, San Giorgio Morgeto, Isola di Capo Rizzuto and Crotone.
The calendar of sporting events taking place in Calabria, which started in May and will end next February, aims precisely at expanding the tourist offer to make the region even more attractive.
