Cortina: The long ripple effect of the Winter Olympics launches the summer season

The forecast data compiled by HBenchmark for the summer season in Cortina d'Ampezzo offers an interesting confirmation of how major sporting events can consolidate a destination's positioning in the medium term.

Key points emerging from the analysis:
✔️ Increase in international component: Foreign guests account for approximately two-thirds of current bookings, a sign of global visibility that has been effectively capitalised upon.
✔️ 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐚̀ 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐚 𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: The average rate is already close to 60%, more than 9 percentage points higher than last summer on the same observation date, with the highest peaks in June (65%).
Seasonality Alignment: The most relevant data in terms of economic sustainability is the 12 percentage point increase recorded in September compared to the previous year, with a progressive redistribution of flows beyond the traditional peak months.
