Italy's tourist hotel presences
halved in the January-September period compared to the same time
last year, due to COVID-19, ISTAT said Tuesday.

Some 72.3% fewer art city presences were registered in the first
three quarters of 2020.
Overall, the presences of foreign tourists fell 68.6% from
2019's 190 million.
