Il bisogno di viaggiare per svago o per lavoro caratterizza profondamente la società contemporanea, inoltre la globalizzazione economica offre sempre più spesso degli spostamenti per lavoro anche a lungo termine. La tendenza verso viaggi brevi e frequenti mette in movimento sempre più turisti. Il turismo si è consolidato come una delle principali attività economiche sia per quanto riguarda gli ingressi di turisti sia per ciò che concerne l' aumento di posti di lavoro. In più la consapevolezza di differenze culturali favorisce la comprensione tra le varie nazionalità e quindi contribuisce alla pace sul pianeta. Fare un viaggio per vacanza è il desiderio e il bisogno di ognuno di noi, questo bisogno oggi è quasi alla portata di tutti grazie all' abbattimento dei costi di trasporto e alla liberalizzazione delle persone. Infatti nell' ultimo decennio il mercato internazionale ha registrato un progressivo aumento di turisti, solo brevemente interrotto nei momenti di crisi internazionale. Manhattan 2001 ha confermato che la sicurezza planetaria non è un valore automatico e quindi non esistono scusanti per non viaggiare. Dunque il turismo di un Paese è messo in discussione più dalla sua disorganizzazione che dall' avvenimento di un evento catastrofico. Da qui la discesa del turismo italiano negli ultimi anni a confronto con l' ascesa di un turismo spagnolo sempre più pratico e intelligente1. 3 Capitolo I Il declino del turismo in Italia Il turismo è uno dei settori internazionalmente più dinamici e in crescita, e in un momento così delicato per l' economia, può essere una mossa vincente a sostegno anche dello sviluppo economico italiano. In Italia la materia prima è eccellente, pur avendo ricchezze naturali con un patrimonio artistico e culturale da far invidia a tutto il mondo e un significativo saper fare locale, l' Italia è scivolata al quinto posto della classifica mondiale superata da Cina, Francia, Spagna e Stati Uniti2. Tutto ciò ci porterebbe a fare una seria riflessione per cogliere questi segnali e reagire per rilanciare il turismo. Come afferma il Presidente della Confturismo Bernabò Bocca nel 1 cfr. http.//www.world-tourism.org 2 cfr. Galano Manfredi "Numeri dal mondo delle autonomie", Periodico num. 7/8 luglio/agosto 2006 di GOVERNARE,GOVERNARE IL TERRITORIO recente “Dossier Turismo e competitività”, il settore turistico italiano sta perdendo più competitività a causa dell' assenza di una vera e propria politica di rilancio3. Secondo i dati il saldo della bilancia turistica nazionale da due anni é in discesa, gli stranieri scelgono sempre meno l’ Italia come meta delle loro vacanze, gli operatori del settore si lamentano, e la paventata reintroduzione della tassa di soggiorno non è certo lo strumento per rilanciare un sistema che necessita di ben altre misure. Il primo problema evidenziato da Confturismo è la mancanza di promozione del prodotto turistico: solo ventiquattro milioni di euro investiti contro i centotrè della vicina Spagna. Altra pecca è quella dell’ Iva: su alberghi e ristoranti italiani grava per il 10 per cento contro, ad esempio, il 7 per cento della Spagna o l’8 per cento della Grecia. La ricerca evidenzia che il turismo in Italia continua ad essere un comparto produttivo in ascesa in termini di posti di lavoro a dispetto delle esigue agevolazioni che riceve: nel 2003, infatti, il settore ha generato quasi il 17 per cento in più di posti di lavoro. 4 Per questo motivo Confturismo chiede una ristrutturazione profonda del settore. Queste le priorità: no alla tassa di soggiorno, Istituzione di un' autorità nazionale di Governance per il turismo, coinvolgimento delle associazioni di categoria e la valorizzazione dei beni culturali e ambientali. Il governo di Madrid ha stanziato nel 2005 cinque milioni di euro per la pubblicità e informazione turistica su Internet. In Italia il vice ministro delle Attività produttive, Adolfo Urso, proponeva di aprire casinò sulle spiagge. La conseguenza è che sul fronte sole-mare il sistema turistico italiano non è più competitivo. Al momento potremmo solo sperare di limitare i danni. L’ industria italiana delle vacanze è destinata a perdere ancora terreno? Certo il quadro non è incoraggiante. Così il direttore generale del Touring Club Italiano, Guido Venturini afferma che da un lato rischiamo di perdere molti turisti italiani in partenza verso altri lidi; dall’ altro abbiamo sempre più difficoltà a intercettare gli stranieri. La questione è che siamo ancora troppo cari 3 http://www.confcommercio.it/home/Confturism/Copia-didossier- turismo-e-competiti.doc rispetto agli altri paesi del Mediterraneo. E siamo fuori mercato anche nei confronti delle mete più lontane, oggi rimesse in gioco dal crollo dei biglietti aerei. Inoltre recentemente abbiamo trasferito la competenza alle regioni con il risultato che ora abbiamo venti politiche diverse. Oggi ogni regione, in relazione alla promo commercializzazione, all’ organizzazione ed alla progettazione di settore, marcia in una direzione propria; ne sono testimonianza diretta I Sistemi Turistici Locali, ovvero quei soggetti pubblico/privati demandati dalla nuova legge quadro (L.135/2001) a promuovere ed organizzare il turismo in ambito locale. In Italia manca una vera e propria politica nazionale. Quello che servirebbe invece è proprio un gioco di squadra con una cabina di regia. Oltre a questi fattori di carattere prettamente strutturale, sono da evidenziare altri elementi di contesto che penalizzano pesantemente le nostre imprese nei confonti dei concorrenti europei. Per esempio il costo relativo al transito sulla rete autostradale ci vede nettamente penalizzati soprattutto nei 5 confonti della Spagna e della Germania dove addirittura è gratuito, un vantaggio per quelle nazioni ma sicuramente uno svantaggio per l' Italia infatti un turista straniero difficilmente deciderà di fare un giro per l' Italia in auto. Poi gli alberghi e i ristoranti hanno un' aliquota IVA fortemente penalizzante rispetto alla media europea che costituisce una vera e propria tassa sulla competitività. Analogo problema riguarda l’ Iva sulle agenzie di viaggio e sugli stabilimenti balneari. A fronte delle problematiche appena esposte, il turismo continua ad essere indiscutibilmente uno dei settori trainanti dell’economia nazionale. Rispetto all’ industria è in grado di creare il 16 per cento in più per ogni milione investito4. Una delle principali cause del declino del turismo italiano è l' altissimo costo dei prezzi degli alloggi incrementato ancora di più in seguito all' adozione dell' Euro. Fino a trentacinque anni fa invece uccupava una posizione di leadership a livello mondiale. 4 cfr. http://www.confcommercio.it/home/Confturism/Copiadi- DOSSIER-TURISMO-E-COMPETITI.doc Come scrive Stefano Livadotti in un articolo dell’ Espresso del 2004, secondo i calcoli del WORLD TRAVEL	Translation - English INTRODUCTION Tourism is a very complex phenomenon. Traveling is a need characterizing the modern society. The increase of short and frequent travels make tourists travel more and more. Tourism is now one of the most important economic activities in the world both for tourist incoming and employment increasing. Besides the awareness of different cultures encourages under standing among the various nationalities and contributes to the peace in the world. Everybody wants to travel and now this is possible especially thanks to lower transport prices. Moreover Manhattan 2001 confirmed that world security cannot be controlled so there’ s no excuses to stay at home. Tourism has decline in Italy in recent years whereas tourism to Spain has been growing compared to a more and more practical and smart Spanish tourism . Chapter I The Decline of Italian tourism Tourism is definitely a sector in growth and in a delicate situation like the Italian one, so now it could be a winner strategy for the Italian economic development. In Italy there are so many incredible resources. Even boasting an amazing natural and historical heritage and a significant local behavior, however, Italy has fallen down to the fifth place in the world classification, overtaken by China, France, Spain and USA . Nowadays Italy is indeed too expensive compared to other nations and there’s a lack of a national administration in tourism since the power and autonomy were delivered to local systems. Other negative factor is the charge for motorways, which are free in other countries. Then restaurants and hotels in Italy have to pay a more expensive tax then the Spanish one. So one of the main reasons for the decline of tourism in Italy is the exaggerated price of hotels since the advent of Euro. Only 35 years ago Italy occupied a great position in the world tourism. As Stefano Livadiotti wrote in a article of 2004 the average price of hotels is of 140 euro per night instead in Spain is more or less 120 euro . The decline in Italy started 25 years ago but now the situation is even worse. The year 2004 was very bad for Italy in fact the 37 millions of tourist incoming characterized a loss of 6,4 per cent compared to the year 2003. And the forecasts are not very good because there are new destinations which are much cheaper. So the government of Madrid invested five millions of Euro for publicity and tourist information online. The Italian Conftourism President analyzing all the aspects said that foreigners choose less and less Italy for their holidays so the first problem to solve is the lack of promotion: just 24 millions of euro invested against 103 millions of Spain. Other problem to solve is the Value Added Tax that in Italy is 10 per cent instead in Spain is 8 per cent. The investigation included also that tourism increased employment so the President wants a radical change . These are the priorities: No tourist tax, the institution of a national authority for tourism, the involving of associations and the development of the natural and historic heritage. On the other hand the Spanish economy in 2004 thanks to the activity of hotels, restaurants and transports grew up from 10,4 per cent of 2000 to 11,9 per cent. So Madrid registered a revenue from tourism three times richer then the Italian one. The hard problem to solve in Italy is the quality-price ratio which is definitely low. Now the situation unfortunately is that Italy doesn’t want to lower prices and I think that’ s the real problem for tourism in Italy. Also Germans going to Italy are fewer and fewer in spite of the election of the Pope coming from their country . Anyway , foreigners come to Italy stay just some day and then they go away. The average of overnight stay is less then the half registered in France or England. By that time an increasing number of Italians go in search of cheaper places to spend their holidays. The result is that Italian hotels end up being empty. The employment rate is of 41,37 per cent instead Spain stays at 57.34 per cent. And the problem doesn t save art cities. The President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo at the partners’ meeting of 26 May 2004 denounces “we have been loosing tourist since 2000. And this happens in the complete and general Inattention” . Tourist Industry is the biggest Italian industry. It guarantees directly the 5,1 per cent of occupation and indirectly the 12,3 per cent. There is no more ministry: abrogated in 1993. So the competence passed to regions. Confusion reigns . Chapter II Spain tourism takes off 2.1 Spain launches the challenge Spain and France launch the challenge. According some investigators Spain and France are more competitive then othr countries of European Union. More then 30 millions of people have visited Spain in the early seven months in 2006. So they increate of 5,3 per cent compared to the last year. As the journalist Laura Dominaci wrote in “Il Sole 24ore” of 13 February of 2006, the minister of Spanish tourism, Ramòn Martines Fraile, confirmed 160 millions of investments in 2006. TurEspaña signed five agreements of collaboration with public administrations to commercialize the Unesco cities, Santiago, The Green Spain, the maritime localities and the Pyrenees. Then among the targets of 2006 there’ s the development in new markets like East Europe, China and India. The website Spain.info offers the selling of flight tickets, car rent and other services and there will be also a selling expansion online. Then Turespaña affirmed that they’re going to do enterprises business through the individual tourist seeing that more and more tourists travel alone . So Spain goes on being alive. 2.2 Spanish success characteristics As you can read in the official website of Spain, spain.info, Spain is a country of 41 millions of inhabitants and tourist industry takes an important contribution to Spanish economy. Before we talk about Spanish characteristics it’ s right to mention the most important dates of Spain in the last century: 1975: Death of Franco 1978: End of dictatorship 1986: Entry in the European Union This country is the second biggest after France. Its geographic position between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean is strategic because of the climate variety in all the territory. An important characteristic of the success of tourism to Spain is the fact that it’ s not among the most expensive nations of Europe even if in the biggest cities life can be quite expensive. Then according to the Schengen Treaty there is no more control in incoming inside European Union. Other characteristic is the transport organization in fact there are trains to get cities quickly and there is the bus to save money. So the bus is the most used. Then Spanish food is well known all over the world. The most famous dish is the “Paella” called like this because you can eat it in a big frying pan. But there are also other specialities considering that food changes according to the region, for example in the south with Arabic influence, you can easily find fruits and the “Tapas” born in Andalusia to accompany the sherry. Other factor of the Spanish success is the artistic heritage which is highly developed. Surely the most famous artist is Pablo Picasso. There are also a good architecture including the amazing Alhambra and the caves of Altamira. Then the dance of Flamenco is surely a great tourist attraction. Finally a very old university tradition characterizes Spain, the University of Salamanca, for instance, was born in 1218 and is the oldest University of Spain . 2.3 Fifteen years of activities in Spain As you can read in the official website of the Eropean Bank of investments, in its 20 years of actions in Spain, changes in Spain are so many and deep that it s difficult to think to some excluded areas. As for as rail transport, its intervention started in 1982 and it is the first one for modernization of rail connections between Spain and France,. From 1991 the contribute of European bank of investments was fundamental for the Spanish development. An important financial support was the one of high speed trains from Seville to Madrid. Transport was the most financed sector by the bank so road, aerial and maritime communication improved very much. Then the Bank inverted putting satellites, they encouraged the diffusion of information online. In the last 5 years the Bank inversed for Spain more then 7 millions of euro for transports, telecommunications and diffusion of information. The investment in natural energy was very intelligent so for example the use of waste material to produce energy. Now the Bank target is to invest in persons to get investigation and development. One example was the financial support for the University of Valencia . Now Spain is the second most tourist country of the world. Chapter III Tourism in Andalusia 3.1 Andalusia: the engine of Spanish tourism According to “Balance del año turistico en Andalucia 2004” Andalusia in 2004 increased accommodation of 15133 spaces more then the year before. This means an increase of 4 per cent. In fact hotels and restaurants are the most significant sectors concerning the direct effects. Meanwhile supermarkets and services of selling have more indirect effects. The tourist average age is between 30 and 44 years old. The mean reason for visiting Spain are its climate, seasides, and monuments. On average the vote given to this region is about 7,7. This means that tourists are satisfied with the tourist offer . Then this region is famous also for the parties everywhere, in fact every big or small city has its city’s party and its origins are very old so the target always is to have a good time. The most famous city’s party is the one of Malaga celebrated since 1887. Moreover there’s the well-known Corrida generally starting in March and finishing in October. Despite animalist adversity, the “Corrida” is still very popular. To enrich the tourist offer, in the province of Almeria we can find the Maritime Natural Parque of Cabo de Gata, the biggest in all the western sea. We are talking about a park including amazing beaches under the mountains. Here it seems that the time is stopped because everything is still at primitive stage. All the area is protected so it’s strictly forbidden to build in it. Really it seems an earth’s paradise. 3.2 Costa del Sol The “Costa del Sol” started to develop itself in the sixties. As you can read in “Turismo y desarrollo Regional en Andalucia” from University of Seville, this famous piece of spanish coast is among the biggest residential places in Europe Here tourism is especially international. The development power was the promotion and exploitation of all the Coast. Its geographic position and its climate were also an important factor for tourist development. Also the international airport of Malaga increased tourists deleting every difficulty especially for a tourism oriented towards international customers. Malaga was considered like a place people used to go to find luck. Then British people were often there and made publicity to all the Coast and Moroccans were there to work and invested their money in activities enriching the coast. So when prices started to go down people from everywhere began to visit this tourist place. That’ s why tourism in this Coast is most of all by foreign people. Also the people who have commercial activities are most of all foreigner so this has been a disadvantage for the regional economy; this was the only negative consequence of the development of tourism, in fact the sudden tourist explosion caused the disappearance of the traditional fishing and agriculture . This is a factor that should make reflect because you can understand as tourism imposes itself gradually more and more as a modern activity to the detriment of more traditional and oldest activities therefore the world that is changing. 3.3. Granada After my experience in Granada I can say that we are talking about a magic and strategic city exciting its visitors. Just ask to a tourist or student an opinion about Granada and the answer is always the same: “Granada? It s wonderful!” Here everything goes around the tourism. The most incredible aspect is the life cost considering that it’ s very low compared to other cities of Spain. This means that Granada doesn’t want to stop itself in fact it goes on surprising. And I think that they manage it! And the “Tapa”? In every bar if you have a beer spending just 2 euro you can have a Tapa for free! Every day you can find on the streets a lot of tourists from all over the world walking around and sometimes some people remain in the city to invest in it. The Spanish magazine often inserts in its pages statistics with Granada resulting among the best ten cities in the world. As Remedios Castillo Perez writes in “Turismo Cultural: Los estudiantes extranjeros en Granada” cultural tourism is very important to increase the national cultural level. So Granada is very proud to have been enriched by different cultures as time goes by. Moreover this city is characterized from the hospitality of its inhabitants. Granada is and continues to be a city causing a big curiosity. But since XII century that it starts to get cultural importance also out of Spain. During Arabian rule Granada was a cultural centre, relying upon a University among the most prestigious of Europe. The big development of communications early last century made possible the increase of tourist movement after the first world war. During fifties Granada started to give hospitality to numerous tourists, the number of visitors does not stop to grow . It s not a case that Granada is in possession of the most visited monument in the world that is the Arabic fortress known as Alhambra. Here very important persons always come as the royal family that regularly visit Sierra Nevada. Now Granada presents itself to the world as a minicontinet for the quantity and the variety of tourist attractions. Seven tourist places identify themselves in its geographical space: Granada city, the west part, Guadix and the Marquesado, the upland, the Alpujarra, the tropical coast and the Sierra Nevada. In the city you can find the Alhamabra , a monument of unquestionable charm. So the offer is rather complete considering that besides a cultural tourism, there is also a congress, rural, sports, beach and sun tourism, let alone of different kind of training. Granada with a university population of about 60000 students presents a good youth surrounding with a great night life in which the most famous places are the different bars of tapas, tea halls etc. Traditional areas are noteworthy : the Albaycin, the Sacromonte, the Realejo and the cathedral such also the numerous churches and the monasteries scattered along the city . Granada can rely upon new attractions as the Park of Science that is the most visited of all the region of Andalusia. So a plenty of tourist offer. This wonderful city fascinates its visitors that always think to come back to visit its monuments, its streets, its squares and of course they recommend it to friends and parents. CONCLUSIONS In the end, comparing the two tourist systems, we can see an Italian system in which State and Regions recognize, according to the law 15 March 1997, n. 59, the role of communes and Provinces in the corresponding territorial circles as far as the realization of infrastructural politics needed to the qualification of the tourist offer; They recognize also the contribution of private concerns for the promotion and the development of the tourist offer. The functions of the State in tourism matters are developed by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and handicraft that takes care about the coordination of state interventions connected to tourism, let alone the direction and the coordination of promotional activities developed abroad with exclusive national importance. To the same ministry of Industry goes the sole agency in the session of the Council of the European Union in tourism matters. On the other hand there is a Spanish system more organized from some points of view in which I noted a more unitary policy where the main role is assumed by the tourism institute that attends planning, promotion, management of all that goes around tourism. Moreover Spain after the royal decree of June 2005 introduced the medal of tourist merit to award a prize to persons or institutions that contributed in extraordinary way to the development or the promotion of the State.
