Sicily island in south Italy will pay half the price of tourists’ flights in a bid to lure back holidaymakers after the coronavirus lockdown.
A €50 million budget will pay for the scheme after coronavirus robbed the industry of around €1 billion in March and April. The vouchers will be made available on the island’s tourism website, according to The Times.
Deaths from coronavirus in Italy climbed by 464 yesterday, but the daily tally of new infections declined to 2,646 from 3,370 on Wednesday.
