Rome – Italy was once known for the long holiday weeks in August. However, the holiday model in August gradually changes in the country, which is plagued by stagnant economy, inflation and low wages. The Italians only vacant around Ferragosto for a few days, the highlight of the vacation time on August 15, and treat themselves to longer weekends. Long days under the parasol on the beach are no longer so popular, which has an impact on bathing tourism.
