This year, the Republic Day bank holiday is proving to be a key opportunity for tourism in the Veneto Garda region. This is thanks not only to its coinciding with Ascension Day, a religious holiday celebrated today in Germany and on Sunday in Italy, but also to the appeal of the Palio del Chiaretto in Bardolino and Lazise.

This is confirmed by data processed by HBenchmark for Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, regarding average occupancy acquired to date for hotel stays on the Veronese side of Lake Garda between May 29 and June 2.
