6. Read an interview with Signor Pacini of the Sicilian Tourist Board who is
talking about tourism in Sicily and how the regional government is trying to
improve the industry there and then be ready to fulfill the tasks after this
I. – the Interviewer S.P. – Signor Pacini
I. Where do most of your tourists come from?
S.P. Well, a high percentage is Italians, and then other Europeans in the main.
And now we are getting a steady stream of tourists from the States, and
from Japan.
I. And what do they do when they come?
S.P. The Italians mostly want to be able to enjoy the sun and the sea. Though
of course, there are many other reasons why Sicily is so popular both
with Italians and foreigners.
I. Such as?
S.P. There’s the fact that we have here examples of almost every periods of
Mediterranean culture, from the Greek period right through to the present
day, which puts Sicily firmly on the map of the cultural and
archaeological itineraries. Then there’s the geography and geology, the
terrain and the flowers and wild life.
I. What, in particular?
S.P. Well, for example, there’s Etna with its still active volcano surrounded of
course by its own national park. But we have such a diversity of
geological formations and also of climatic changes that each area is
entirely different. It’s an amazingly beautiful and varied landscape for
the ecotourism.
I. ... and so they come for a wide variety of reasons. But are their demands
the same as, say, they were five years ago?
S.P. To a certain degree, yes. They want to enjoy our cultural heritage, to
enjoy our cuisine, to appreciate the countryside, to spend some time on
our glorious beaches, though they are now far more activity conscious
and more interested in visiting areas that are not established “tourism
resorts”. But they also want better services. In particular they demand,
and quite rightly so, better accommodation. And we feel that all this is
very important.
We are now part of a European Community project to look at ways of
developing and promoting sustainable tourism in the south of Italy. In
this project we will be developing criteria to rate hotels uniformly,
looking at the transport infrastructure, considering the main tourism
cultural itineraries, and looking at the protected areas so we can produce
strategies to develop their potential, to promote them internationally and
to maintain our regional, cultural way of life. We need tourism. It is our
chief employer – but it must be sustainable.
