(ANSA) - Rome, January 23 - Rome tourism is booming thanks to
the city council's tourist office, Mayor Virginia Raggi said
Tuesday.
In 2017, she said, arrivals were 3% up at more than 14 and a
half million and stays at de luxe hotels were 5%.
She said that Rome, which had been capital of short-stay
tourism, was now managing to "increase the days stayed on
average".
Raggi added that the city would introduce a tax on Airbnb.
Some 3.5 euros a night will be levied per person for up to 10
days, she said.
