Antonio Capacchione

Antonio Capacchione is the national president of the Italian Beach Syndicate (SIB), representing beach establishments across Italy. He has been vocal about the recent trends affecting the tourism industry, particularly the decline in family vacations at Italian beaches and the growing presence of foreign tourists. Capacchione highlights the economic hardships faced by the middle class, which has led to a dramatic shift in vacation habits, with more Italians opting for short weekend trips rather than extended stays, while foreign visitors increasingly fill the gaps during the week.
