VOICED : Absence of US tourists hammers Italy's Amalfi coast

The video discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italy's tourism industry, particularly on the Amalfi Coast. With travel restrictions in place, local tourism has seen a resurgence among Italians. The Agavi Hotel in Positano experienced a late start to the season and a significant drop in American tourists, who make up a large portion of their clientele. This has led to economic challenges, with potential losses of €1.8 billion for the Italian economy. However, there are positive environmental changes, such as reduced traffic and fewer boats. Tourism services are adapting by offering smaller group excursions to comply with health measures.
