Tourism of Italians in Italy through crisis and development: the last 15 years, region by region

The paper examines the tourism of Italians in Italy, in the various regions, from 2006 to 2020, using the origin-destination matrix produced by ISTAT, distinguishing external flows from those within the region. Particular attention will be given to the year 2020, for which economic information will be provided, showing that overall, the tourism sector in Italy has continued to play an important role, despite the pandemic crisis. The choice of arrivals, instead of night-spent, reduces the influence of the specific type of tourism in each region. The initial results appear interesting and have also been summarised using correspondence analysis.
