We will see whether or not there will be a Merkel effect on the decisions that German tourists will make in the coming months. While the contagion situation in France and Spain worsens, Italy is fighting the second wave.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond general considerations, the numbers speak for themselves. <a href=\"https:\/\/nova.ilsole24ore.com\/profilo\/250\/\">Gianni Rusconi<\/a> analyzes the state of world tourism and the Italian tourism pros in a contribution published by Il Sole 24 ore.
