Some say that we are attracted with completely different characters, and others says we would feel comfortable with people whom we have some similarities with. This has been obvious fact that many Japanese like Italy, not only as a tourist destination but also as a country that we are very much attracted in many ways.

Since the COVID-19 started spreading in Italy, most Japanese have been concerned about our friends there. No tourists there, even though the tourism has been the key industry in Italy. With my friend who lives in Milan and works as a tour guide, I just started up a virtual Italian tour site. We arranged the first tour last Sunday and we had 30 participants. The event was for introducing Milan and well accepted.

 

We found out that many Japanese still are very much fond of Italy. The group name is “Viva Italia”.  It has remained our dream that travelling there and enjoy ourselves in completely different environment.

 

Now we are thinking of arranging the next one, focusing on Venezia. Program is about 90 min and we demonstrate nice sight seeing spots, places which are not so famous but must see, restaurants, bars, activities etc.

 

If you have in your mind some information regarding those topics, please let me know. I would like to introduce as many as possible. We do hope this would help to boost Italian tourism again after Corona.

The facebook site is as follows and would appreciate if you like it.
