Attractions in Italy

On Tuesday, 17th July 2007 the “2nd National Tourism Day” was held in Trieste: Confindustria (the leading association representing all Italian industries) organised this annual conference during which tourism businessmen and political representatives gathered to debate about the situation of the tourist industry in Italy. Authoritative speakers joined the debate: Italian Deputy Prime Minister Rutelli stated that “tourism will be the 1st national industry in the 21st century”, while Mr Illy - the President of the Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia - announced the opening, in Friuli V.G., of the 1st high-level education centre for businessmen and managers of the tourist sector. Businessmen and other official representatives, like Mr. J. Ejarque the President of “Turismo F.V.G.”, focussed on the faults of the Italian tourism, on a regional as well as on a national basis; the same points were then later highlighted by the President of Confindustria Mr. Montezemolo in his closing speech.

According to data issued by the Confindustria Research Centre, the town of San Michele al Tagliamento, i.e. Bibione, ranks at the 3rd place in Italy for what concerns the total amount of available bed-places: this datum needs weighting to create a complete analysis, nonetheless it is enough to measure the potential influence this holiday resort can exert on the overall tourist offer in Italy. Many tourist businesses are active in Bibione, being therefore able to play an important role in the development of the tourist industry with all its subcategories: accommodation firms, catering a food companies, without forgetting entertainment and beach management businesses.

The Casa Mare Agency is a bulwark of the real-estate sector: it has been actually dealing with rentals and real-estate sales in Bibione for more than thirty years, during which it could witness and actively take part in the development of the tourist world, sometimes being even ahead of the times. Comparing the guidelines stated in Trieste with the actions the agency CasaMare has already undertaken, it is possible to check how every single tourist company can help bringing Italy again to its rank as world leader within the tourist business field.

Among the first topics to be discussed there was need for the national tourist offer to become annual instead of seasonal. The agency Casa Mare is actually already complying with this suggestion since it is opened and provides its services all the year long, while among the very many accommodations it manages there are some disposing of heating, which is not at all a minor detail on the upper Adriatic coast, where almost everything has been planned for the summer.

A second element highlighted during the “National Tourism Day” was the issue of a much more diversified offer, which however must avoid the risk of excessive fragmentation, another typical problem for the Italian tourist industry. Almost as if it decided in advance to follow this suggestion, the agency CasaMare has been reorganising its availabilities in order to offer any kind of accommodation: camping places, villas with swimming-pool, hotels of any category and apartments in Bibione directly lying on the beach; no matter the kind of holiday, the agency CasaMare is able to provide every tourist with the most suitable accommodation according to his requirements.

Italy does not mean only Rome, Florence or Venice and this was eventually clearly stated during the meeting in Trieste: improving the whole national territory is the only way to overcome this stagnation and the agency CasaMare seems to have speeded up things again. By planning trips to Venice, Verona, Trieste, to the Postumia caves or to the wonderful Venice Lagoon the agency Casa Mare puts into practice the improvement of the national territory. Seaside resorts like Bibione should be renewed and thought in a different way, not only as seaside resorts but also as starting points to explore the hinterland, a very important input to develop tourism in a more thorough way.

Having been active in the real-estate sector for more than thirty years, the agency Casa Mare relies on a highly qualified staff: only by supplying a high quality service a real-estate agency can ensure constant results and enjoy positive trends in the long run. Besides providing top-quality services, the agency Casa Mare can also offer very competitive pricing levels thanks to economies of scale, which can be only developed by quite large firms. It is doubtless that Italian tourism needs renewal and in order to achieve that goal it needs a strong help from the Government, but the agency Casa Mare proofs that every single operator, every single firm can and should contribute to the common effort.

Italy, a founder member of the EU, is a relatively young country which was only unified as a nation in 1861. It has land borders with Austria, France, San Marino, Slovenia, and Switzerland while the Vatican City is a separate state within Rome. The country's long coastline, stretching some 7,600km, has contributed to problems with immigration control. Besides deep rooted problems, such as the need to import most raw materials, the country is also plagued by corruption and crime.

The economy is divided by the industrial north and less developed and poorer agricultural south.

As in much of Europe, property prices have been rising. According to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyor's European Housing Review 2005, the housing market has been on 'a sustained upward swing for five years'. Last year 'agents were reporting that market activity was still brisk - although it had fallen below its peak'. Most Italian property is sold as freehold although Italian property law recognizes various other property rights and tenures. Usufruct is a right to use the property of another for a fixed period but not to change its nature.

Leasehold rights, which may be for a fixed period of 20 years or more or in perpetuity, allow the lessor to use the property as if he or she were the owner, subject to a requirement to improve the land and pay a rent. Building rights entitle the holder to construct a building on land belonging to a third party, or maintain a building standing on land belonging to a third party. Building rights may be for a limited or unlimited period of time, but if for a fixed period, ownership of the building reverts to the owner of the land on their expiry. Italian property transfer processes have some similarities to France. Based on land registration, the state regulated process involves both purchaser and seller using the same state appointed notary to complete the transaction.

The process begins with a formal and nominally binding offer to purchase arranged through an estate agent. If accepted during the set period of the offer, this is followed by a preliminary contract signed by both parties (at which point a deposit will be paid). Finally comes formal completion. The notary, in front of whom the completion documents must be signed, will verify that the documentation is correct, that the property is free from registered encumbrances and checks the identities of the parties involved. Searches beyond what is included in the registry are unlikely to be exhaustive.


The notary also collects the taxes and duties involved. These vary between Non-resident property purchasers are treated differently to resident purchasers in a number of ways. In particular they will be obliged to pay higher registration fees, although residence can be claimed within a fixed time subsequent to the purchase. Total fees and charges are likely to amount to between 5 per cent and 20 per cent, including estate agents fee, if applicable, registration fees or VAT if a new property, and the notary's fee. Fees in the order of 8 to 10 per cent are also payable on sale of a property.

Some charges are based on the registered value of the property, which is likely to be less that the actual purchase price. This also applies to local property taxes, the amount of which varies from region to region. The Imposta Comunale surgli Immobili is paid by both resident and non resident owners - although the amount is halved for property that is not habitable. In addition there are likely to be charges for local services. Italian taxation is undergoing reform. From the start of 2005 personal tax rates have been set on a graduating scale ranging from 23 per cent to 39 per cent, with a 4 per cent supplement for income in excess of 100,000 euro.

Property owners are obliged to file annual tax returns but are only taxable on income arising in Italy. However, there tax is levied on the notional rental value of the property (based on its registered value) whether or not it is rented out. Both residents and non-resident property owners are subject to Italian inheritance law and tax. But the good news is that currently there is no capital gains tax to pay on property gains.

Mostly, travelers go on a trip recommended by friends, but is this what they really want? It's never too early to plan for your trip and to do what your heart really desires. Here are several questions to ask yourself before starting to plan your vacation. Do I want to relax? Do I want adventure or a learning experience? Do I want to get away from my job? Once you know the answers to these questions, then you are ready to plan your trip.

Vacations are needed for our emotional, physical and mental balance. Vacations give a person a chance to relax, renew his energy, and free him from his daily routine. Vacations can be far away or close to home. Wherever the vacation may be, it does the same thing. It provides satisfaction, which is far more important than the destination itself. Generally, there are some different types of travel according to the activities involved. Here are some of them:

1. Responsible Travel. Traveling doesn't always have to be self-serving. With responsible travel, one could have enjoyment as much as respecting the local environment and the people.

2. Rediscovering nature. Rediscovering travel is all about nature and everything in it. It revitalizes the soul while experiencing everything there is to know about nature.

3. Tribal cultures. In today's world of high technology, it is wise to experience the simpler life of the tribal people who have lived close to nature in the same way for thousands of years.

4. Responsible Diving. Diving not only lets travelers appreciate what is in the sea but also helps make the traveler more aware of efforts concerning conservation of our natural resources.

Plan your travel to a country that will leave a great mark in your traveling diary. Here are some of the most popular destinations today:

1. Thailand. Thailand is also known as Siam. It is an Asian country bounded by Burma, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia. Behind the back draft of Thailand's jungles of bamboo, rubber trees and vines are the Five-star hotels of modern conveniences. In some parts of the country, elephants are still being use to lift timbers and buffalos are still being used in farming.

2. China. China is now the second largest country and fastest growing economy in the world. Most parts of China are still unexplored by tourists; however, the eastern portion is now popular to western tourists. First class hotels now offer the highest class of amenities and dozens more are still being built.

3. Italy. Italy is a boot-like shape country bounded by Switzerland, Austria, France, and Slovenia. The main attraction of Italy is St. Peter's Square where the Pope resides.

4. Caribbean. Caribbean is an archipelago of islands, 2000 square miles across. Most of the islands are plateaus and eruptions of underlying mountain systems. It has nice beaches of crushed coral and white or pink sand and the water at the shore is a deep blue.

The success of any vacation will not depend on how much money the traveler spent or the destination. The final outcome will depend on the degree of enjoyment experienced by the traveler.

Ask any bride-to-be and she'll quickly tell you that honeymoon dreams come true in Hawaii. This tropical paradise has been king of the hill when it comes to honeymoon destinations for nine straight years. But this year, the king was dethroned. Instead of finding Hawaii as big kahuna, Italy took the lead. In previous years, Italy ranked third, but in the 11th annual Modern Bride survey for 2007, it surpassed Hawaii, followed by Tahiti, Costa Rica, Mexico and France. The 11th annual survey was conducted through a network of 6,000 luxury travel agents who ranked their 50 favorite honeymoon spots. The results appear in the magazine's August/September issue. But what doesn't appear is the answer to the question "why?"

According to Hawaii's state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the trend has been building over time. The number of honeymoon couples traveling to the Aloha State fell to just over 200,000 as of June this year. That's a 1.2% drop from 2006. Hawaii certainly has beauty and a playground with enough adventure and romance to keep couples busy for weeks. But Italy is beginning to be appreciated for many of its unique features.

Venice

For instance, Venice charms young and old alike with magical waterways stretching throughout the entire city. The gentle trickling of water through the canals is romantic on its own. Add to that a dreamy gondola ride and you've set the mood for the entire trip. Truth be known, Venetians travel by gondola because there are no cars, not because of the romance! You also won't find any motorbikes or motorized scooters. Why no cars? Because there are no roads to drive them on!

What you will find in Venice is gorgeous scenery along with palaces, museums and art collections. Open-air food markets are also plentiful and make for wonderful shopping. Or, of course, you can dine at any number of restaurants where you'll delight in truly authentic northern Italian cuisine. You won't want to leave without participating in Carnival. Remarkably, the term "carnival" comes from the Latin "farewell meat!" Similar to Fat Tuesday in New Orleans, Carnival began the practice of throwing huge parties in order to use up all the meat, eggs and butter before the fasting of Lent started. To make Carnival unique, Venetians wore masks to disguise themselves. This way they could participate in all types of debauchery without being found out. While Carnival today is much more civil, the enormous levels of fun still run high.

Capri

Another unique destination in Italy is Capri. An island (as is Venice), this region has wooed the world for decades. Countless movies have been made on Capri, emperors have visited and honeymooners have strolled along her hillsides. Part of the allure of this island lies in the aromatic fragrances that overtake you as soon as you arrive. The scent of ripe natively grown lemons in addition to the intense perfume of indigenous basil, marjoram, oregano, parsley and thyme waft through the air with every breeze. It's something almost everyone is pleasantly surprised by. One of the most popular attractions is The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) - a must-see. 

As daylight enters through an underwater opening located immediately below the entrance to the cave, the light is filtered by the water. The red tones are absorbed, leaving only the blue ones to pass into the cave. The result is an astonishing aura of blues that simply defies words. Whichever you choose as your top honeymoon spot, you'll find plenty to do and see. Cruising to your destination offers the flexibility to see more of the region for less than you might think. Explore online first and then decide which location will offer more of what you and your spouse-to-be will love.
