(Alliance News) - Destination Italia Spa announced Tuesday that the group has exceeded EUR6.5 million in terms of its order book referring to tourist bookings of departures that will take place in the year 2024, marking an increase of more than 70 percent compared to the same period in the year 2022.

The figure, which aggregates the group's different business lines, refers to the order backlog of tourist bookings from the business and consumer distribution channels and relates to middle and luxury target travelers.

"In terms of outlook for 2024, excellent performance is seen coming from the U.S. market, specifically manned by the New York office, and a leap forward is expected from the Far East and Latin American markets, on which planning activities have been focused in the last period," the company specified in a note.

Dina Ravera, president of Destination Italia, commented, "Given the latest performance achieved on 2024 bookings in the U.S., European and Latin American markets, there are very exciting prospects for next year. We are focusing our energies on growth in these markets from which we expect important numbers on targets that are of extreme interest to us."

Destination Italia's stock is up 2.4 percent at EUR0.86 per share.
