To the Managing Director

Bimestrale di turismo itinerante
For many years now I have been gathering and storing numerical and statistical data concerning open-air tourism. Thanks to my professional experiences
as manager of various public administration sectors, I have a consolidated history of dealing with statistics, tourism and tourism legislation. Over time
I have put together a comprehensive databank of industry information, thanks also to the continuous cooperation of such public entities as ISTAT
(the Italian National Institute of Statistics), ACI (the Italian Automobile Club), UNRAE (the National Union of Foreign Car Representatives), ANFIA
(the National Automobile Industry Association), APC (the Association of Camper and Caravan Manufacturers), ASSOCAMP (the National Retail
Association of Recreational Vehicles) and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport in Italy, as well as such European organisations as the European
Caravan Federation, the European Federation of Campingsite Organisations and EUROSTAT.
It seems to me, in view of the continuous damage the economic crisis is causing to the tourism industry, in general, and to open-air tourism, in particular,
that the time has come for the Confedercampeggio (the Italian Campingsite Federation) and the author, to offer this cultural heritage, this vast body of
information, to everyone.
This body of data and information, thanks also to the fact that for some twenty years now I have managed the magazine Il Campeggio Italiano, also
includes information we have received from our readers and interviews we have conducted with dealers and constructors.
The information aims neither to praise nor condemn the way business has been done in the past (in Italy and the rest of Europe). Its aim is simply to
spread information – which we hope is useful - in the form of data and graphs, without romanticizing it. Our hobby is running the risk of sparking
dramas or family tragedies, above all in our own line of work. The time to hesitate is over, especially in view of what is really happening in Europe.
The intentions of Confedercampeggio, and the author, are to expose the way things really are so that those, however few or many there may be, who read
this can come up with more precise ideas leading to solutions for the future.
If, when we look back on our past, we can make certain considerations and use such words as, for example, “improvisation”, for the reality we are
living today we have the duty to, above all and with a certain urgency, identify the negative aspects that must be eliminated. As to the future, it will be
imperative to come up with a new sort of programming and distribution of products, one that helps us combat the obstacles and improve the ways in
which we enjoy our most beloved hobby.
I forgot to mention that the black and white photos published come from the Confedercampeggio archives and
where taken in the 1950s and 60s.
Thanking you for your patience, enjoy!

NOTES ON ITALY
• In 2009, 4,194,835 foreign campers from all over Europe came to Italy and spent some €1,200,000. In Italy, the industry counts 4,922,604
people, including those who own trailer tents, tents or sleep in bungalows.
• In Italy today there are some 246,323 caravans, 253,228 motor homes (annual production decreased to 7,432 recreational vehicles in
2009) and 2,200 trailer tents in circulation.
• Mobile tourism in campers, caravans and tents accounts for some 70% of plein air tourism, both in terms of tourist flow and expenditure.
• Camper rental, although still marginal (15-18%) is on the increase: whereas Italians prefer to rent them from an agency near to home,
Germans prefer to rent them at their destination, often the hub from which they then go out and explore the surrounding area.
• There is a real need to develop a network of services and rest areas that offers the kinds of services this type of tourist needs, keeping in
mind sustainability, environmental compatibility and local realities.
• 58% of those travelling in campers overnight at campsites, while the other 42% do so in designated rest areas.
• There are 2,573 campsites in Italy (of which less than 10 have European Ecolabel certification), about 900 rest areas that are recognised
by their cities, more than 1,600 free rest areas and some 1,000 rest areas located on the grounds of agriturismos.
• Over the last 6 or 7 years, Italian campsite rates have increased by some 34%.
• Foreign campers prefer seaside campsites (53.3%), followed by mountain areas (14.5%) and sites of historical interest (11.1%), etc…
• The average stay of a foreign camper in 2009 was 6.86 days per year. Italian campers averaged 7.86 days.
• In Italy in 1959 we numbered 498,057; by 1982 there were 2,593,866 people camping and in 1989 2,995,565. In 2009, this figure had
almost doubled. As to motor homes, in 1988 there were only 57,337 of them in circulation. By 1996 this number reached 113,284 and in
2009 there were all of 252,961 registered motor homes in circulation.
• The increase in motor homes is due to various factors:
—a constant increase in the types of vehicles available,

—better product quality (thanks also to European regulations),
—improvement of the image of the manufacturers,
—improvement of the retail network and assistance,
—motor home rentals,
—the evolution of the use of recreational vehicles.
According to a ASSOCAMP survey commissioned by Soc. MERCURY in 2006:

In Italy the change in open air tourism industry came about in the 1990s when vacations became increasingly ITINERANT, and no longer
just campsite camping.
Cleanliness, location and the characteristics of an area, safety and the quality/price ratio are important when choosing a campsite or rest
area.
It is the camper that attracts the attention of potential new vehicle buyers, especially new campers.
Some 55% of the campers/caravans in circulation are owned by the family in them, while 25% are borrowed from friends or family.
A recreational vehicle is used for anywhere between 12 and 17 outings annually, for a total of about 48 nights in the vehicle. Of these, 17
are in rest areas. Families that rent campers sleep out an average of 12 nights per year.
When travelling, daily expenditures for the family or group average about €70 per day, equal to about €3,360 per year.
If we multiply this amount by the number of motor homes in circulation (about 250,000), the total amount of money spent by these vaca-
tioners is almost €840,000 per year.
Some 25-30% of itinerant campers bring their pets with them, just under 10% travel with someone who is physically challenged.
For longer vacations, 51% choose to sleep in a tent or bungalow, 36% in the camper and 13% in the caravan.
60% of both Italians and Germans bring other modes of transport with them (bikes, scooters, etc…) or sports equipment (surf boards,
canoes, etc…). 7% travel with a physically challenged person.

AGRITURISMOS

Over the past few years the request for agriturismo holidays has undergone
significant changes: at first it involved a small amount vacationers who were
passionate about tradition and food and wine specialties. Today it involves a far
greater number of people seeking close contact with nature, good healthy food,
peace and quiet - usually at very reasonable rates. We have asked the most important
agriturismo organisations to supply us with information regarding how many of them
also host campers, and the number of plots. Not everyone responded to our letter.
At any rate, this is what the situation seems to look like:
