HERE'S JUST SOME OF WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON ISCHIA REVIEW!
January 2022Good morning everyone and a very heartfelt Happy New Year as we enter 2022! There's no doubting it's been a tough couple of years since the outbreak of the Coronavirus Pandemic and even though we're in the middle of a difficult winter, there are some really positive signs that this year will be much better.
Of course case numbers are high just about everywhere in the world right now with the emergence of the Omicron variant which has put health systems under strain and caused no little disruption to people's plans for the Christmas and New Year period. |

Our thoughts go out to anyone who may be suffering with the virus at present, forced to self-isolate because of a close contact, or who may sadly have lost loved ones in this difficult period.
It may seem strange to feel optimistic when the virus is raging like never before but there are a number of reasons for that optimism. If we compare the situation to last year, it's almost incomparable: at that stage we had very high numbers of cases, the vaccine rollout was in its infancy and after a year of lockdowns, the future looked very uncertain.
This year most people that wanted to have been able to be vaccinated and the enormous numbers of people that have already had the virus mean there's an ever-increasing amount of immunity around. Couple this with the emergence of numerous treatments that are able to reduce hospitalisations, the length of stays in hospitals and a subsequent reduction in death rates; it does feel as if we're much better equipped to deal with Covid than we've ever been before.
In terms of tourism and the outlook for the summer ahead, there are further positive signs with a huge increase in enquiries and website visitors. In the first few days of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, we've seen a 267% increase in website visitors and what's really interesting is that the numbers are higher even than pre-pandemic levels. This shows a greater confidence over travel in the months ahead and that the anticipated pent-up desire to travel after two difficult years is now coming to fruition.
Only a fool would suggest that the problems are coming to an end and I'm sure there will be challenges ahead but there is a growing sense that we're now able to live alongside the virus and that perhaps we're closer to the end of the crisis than the beginning.
So with that in mind it's time to look ahead to 2022: there's always a lot of work to be done on the website at the turn of the year with price lists to be updated, opening dates to be published and so on. If you see something on the website that looks out of date or doesn't quite seem right, feel free to query it, but it's most likely that we haven't quite got round to that page just yet.
We remain, as we always have been, open for business and looking forward to receiving your emails and enquiries. if you need anything that you can't find an answer for on the website, feel free to drop us a line via info@ischiareview.com and we'll be happy to help.
Buon Anno a tutti! (that's Happy New Year to everyone!)
