ʻO ka māhele huakaʻi a me ka mākaʻikaʻi i helu pololei i ka 3% o ka nui o ka honua Gross Domestic Product (GDP) i ka makahiki 2017, e unuhi ana i $ 2.4 trillion, kahi helu e hiki ke piʻi i $ 3.5 trillion ma 2027. He nūhou maikaʻi kēia no nā ʻoihana huakaʻi, akā no nā mākaʻikaʻi, nā kamaʻāina. a me nā alakaʻi kaiaulu o nā wahi wela punahele, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole. Ke hoʻomau nei nā kahe mākaʻikaʻi hoʻopaʻa moʻolelo e waiho i ka moʻomeheu moʻomeheu a me ka hoʻoilina o Italia i ka pilikia a hoʻāʻo i ka hoʻomanawanui o nā kamaʻāina ma nā wahi kaulana Italia. Ua ʻike ʻelua mau wahine Chicago ʻelua i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi Italia i kā lākou STOP Overtourism Movement ka pane.
ʻO Lesley Pritkin lāua ʻo Rosanne Cofoid o Chicago, nā mea nona nā hui huakaʻi ʻelua "Italia-wale" e ʻōlelo nei he ʻimi ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a e hoʻāʻo lākou i nā wahi hou - inā ʻike lākou iā lākou. No kēia kumu, makemake lākou e hāʻawi i nā huakaʻi me nā mea ʻē aʻe i nā kūlanakauhale wela kahiko e like me Roma, Florence a me Venice. No ka poʻe hoʻomaka mua i ka papa inoa pono e ʻike i nā wahi wela - ua hana pū lākou i nā ala ʻē aʻe e ʻike ai iā lākou. Ke kāhea nei lākou i nā ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi a me nā mea kākau huakaʻi e hui pū i kā lākou neʻe ʻana ma ka hōʻike ʻana i nā wahi i ʻike ʻole ʻia e like me ka waiwai o ka moʻomeheu a me ka nani e like me nā wahi i ʻike ʻia.
Ua kipa ʻo Pritikin, ka mea nona ka Divertimento Group (DG), kahi hui kūʻai kūʻai aku ma Illinois i nā kamaʻāina ma nā kūlanakauhale a me nā mokupuni ʻo Italia e pilikia ana i ka nele o ka mākaʻikaʻi - he mau minuke wale nō mai nā kūlanakauhale e noi ana i nā mākaʻikaʻi e noho i ka home. Ua paipai ʻo ia iā lākou e hana i nā huakaʻi hoʻoikaika ʻē aʻe e like me ke kipa ʻana i: ʻO ka "locanda" punahele a Ernest Hemingway ma kahi mokupuni mamao ma ke kahawai ʻo Venice me ka ʻaina ahiahi ma ka home o ke kupuna kāne o ka mokupuni, he hale ʻaina kiʻekiʻe i kēia manawa, a i ʻole kahi pāʻina awakea i hoʻomākaukau ʻia e kekahi mea kuke kūloko. ʻO nā ana huna o Matera ma kahi puʻu - mamao loa mai ka 2019 European Cultural Capital kaulana loa "Sassi. A no ka "makemake e ʻike i ka poʻe hoihoi Roma," he loko lua pele huna i ke kaona moʻolelo pili i Roma kahi i holo ai ʻo Emperor Caligula i kāna mau moku.
Ua wehewehe ʻo Cofoid i kona manaʻo hoʻoikaika e komo i ka STOP Overtourism Movement o Divertimento Group, "he ala ia e hoʻihoʻi ai i ka ʻāina i manaʻo nui ʻia o kaʻu ʻoihana a me koʻu ola no nā makahiki he nui - a ke manaʻo nei au e hui pū kekahi mau ʻoihana huakaʻi US". Ua kono ʻo ia iā lākou e hoʻopili iā ia no ke komo ʻana i ka hoʻolaha hoʻolaha kick-off o DG ʻo "Get There First" - kahi hana no ka poʻe ʻoihana huakaʻi a me nā mea kākau huakaʻi / blogger makemake e ʻike iā Matera, ka 2019 European Cultural Capital the "DG-way" - off -ke kau, ma waho o ke ala, a ma mua o ka holo ʻana o ka lehulehu.
ʻIke ʻo Divertimento Group i nā hanana moʻomeheu i ka hui pū ʻana me nā hui Italia, ka papa mākaʻikaʻi Italia a me nā ʻoihana moʻomeheu Italia ma ke ʻano he kumu kūʻai kūʻai B2B - ʻoihana ʻē aʻe mua. Ma Nowemapa 5, 2018, ʻo Divertimento Group, a me ka Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago (500 N. Michigan Ave.), e hoʻokipa iā Italia Off-the-Beaten-Track: Murano & Matera - Hoʻonaʻauao hihia no kahi ʻano hoʻohālike hou. E hōʻike ana kēia hanana i nā moʻolelo mai nā kamaʻāina ʻo Murano a me Matera– i haʻalele pinepine ʻia i waho o nā hiʻohiʻona mākaʻikaʻi. E hōʻike pū ʻia nā moʻolelo mai ka poʻe noho ʻole i hoʻoulu ʻia e kēia mau wahi kūʻokoʻa ʻelua. E hōʻike ʻia nā kiʻi kiʻi ʻaʻahu Murano-aniani a me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe mai nā mea pena like ʻole ma ka hanana. E kono ʻia ka lehulehu i ke kakahiaka a e hoʻolaʻa ʻia ke ahiahi no nā ʻoihana huakaʻi. E hoʻopau ʻia ka hanana me ka hoʻokipa cocktail no ka poʻe e hana ana ma ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi.
ʻO kēia hanana ʻo Nowemapa 5 ʻo ia ka mea mua ma ka "Giving Local Residents a Voice in Promoting THEIR territory" series of events e hōʻike ana i nā wahi Italia like ʻole i ka makahiki 2019. Ke hāʻawi nei nā mea kākoʻo Italia mai nā wahi āpau i ke kākoʻo o DG's STOP Overtourism neʻe a komo i loko. Nā hanana moʻomeheu DG: Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Lamborghini lāua ʻo Pomario no ka hoʻolālā o Nowemapa.
