IN BRIEF

Brescia and Franciacorta Kick Off 2026 Tourist Season with Booking Surge

Easter 2026 marked the start of the tourist season in Brescia, with overall positive signs including increased bookings and a preference for local stays. Industry representatives, such as Confesercenti Lombardia Orientale’s Barbara Quaresmini and Assohotel’s Giuseppe Caccamo, reported a favorable trend in hotel occupancy, boosted by improved weather forecasts and last-minute reservations in Brescia, Franciacorta, and the lakeside area.

Bookings are rising across Brescia and its lake districts, with Brescia city experiencing notable growth compared to last year. However, a slowdown in organized foreign tourism has been observed, leading to a redistribution of tourist flows towards Italy and reprogramming of travel plans, according to Confesercenti Lombardia Orientale’s Stefano Boni.
