Lukas Obletter

Lukas Obletter is the owner of the Villa Emilia hotel and the Seceda cable car in Ortisei, Alto Adige, Italy. Recently, he gained media attention for his candid remarks about the inadequacy of the cable car infrastructure in managing tourist flows, arguing that the issues faced during peak times are due to the limited capacity of the facilities rather than the number of visitors. Obletter advocates for tripling the capacity of the cable car to better accommodate the increasing number of tourists, emphasizing the need to adapt infrastructure to evolving tourism patterns.
