If Italians think they no longer need German tourists, they should
prepare for the fact that the Germans will go to Istria and Dalmatia
in Croatia, or to Spain and France, said Schily.
The minister, who spends his holidays in Tuscany, has urged Rome to
clearly state if German tourists are desirable in Italy or not. His
request comes in the wake of an article in which Italian State
Secretary for Tourism Stefano Stefani labelled German tourists as
"shapeless masses besieging the Italian coast".
