ITALY<br />
Italy could well be the go-to destination for campers in the summer of 2022,<br />
according to a survey conducted by the Salone del Camper show in the<br />
country. Just over 70 per cent of those asked said that they would choose<br />
Italy as the destination for their summer holidays with more than 43 per<br />
cent saying that a campsite will be where they stay. The length of time for<br />
said holidays is likely to be from two weeks (33.65 per cent) or longer (33.72<br />
per cent) and the most favoured destination being at a coastal campsite<br />
(56.53 per cent). Traveling tourists in Europe are estimated to be around 20<br />
million and the circulating fleet of campers and caravans is about 6 million.<br />
