Santanché says will take tourists to Cogne by 'copter

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 2 - Tourism Minister Daniela Santanché said Tuesday the government would take tourists to the floodand-mudslide-blocked Aosta mountain resort of Cogne by helicopter.
    Santanché, who came to Aosta to take stock of the damage after the flood, said "it is an idea that will do Aosta Valley good,and the community of Cogne.
    "We have called the project 'Cogne gives wings'.
    "Rather than putting people out of work, closing hotels, closing the community, we will work to get tourists to Aosta, pick them up by helicopter, and bring them to Cogne.
    "They will of course have to stay for an appropriate period, at least four days in a hotel or 15 days in a second home." (ANSA).
