Railway Transport Support to Tourism for a Sustainable Post-Covid-19 Recovery in Italy
Short Abstract
In January 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic is still affecting the tourism industry worldwide. The EU member states are still imposing tight travel restriction measures in form of restrictive quarantines, negative test requirements, or vaccine certifications. The Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS), the railways incumbent company in Italy, has suffered during these two years an important contraction in demand and supply. Our study aims to provide a deep analysis of the lessons learnt during the crisis to being prepared for a sustainable post-COVID recovery in Italy having in mind six research items: (1) workforce; (2) finance and economics; (3) digitalization and teleworking; (4) new marketing tools; (5) contactless procedures; and (6) tour-package development. The challenges ahead to return back better will be discussed.
