Among foreign markets, the most active are Germany and Spain, both with 1.3 million searches, and over the past thirty days, they grew at a higher-than-average daily rate, respectively 3.6% and 3.8%. Followed by France (871,000 searches), the UK (667,000), and Greece (455,000).<br \/>\nEach nationality has its preferences regarding arrival dates, influenced not only by cultural factors but also by different travel regulations: Italy recently lifted quarantine requirements for arrivals from abroad (with some exceptions), but for certain origin markets, such as the UK and the USA, traveling to Italy for non-essential reasons is still strongly discouraged.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_tourists_are_searching_for\"><\/span>What tourists are searching for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For example, Germans search for flights with an average booking window of 39 days and show strong interest in June: considering the four summer months, 41% of searches are for arrivals in June, 34% for July, 17% for August, and 7% for September. Spaniards have an average booking window of 44 days and no particular preferences for months of arrival; however, September remains a less popular month (7%).<\/p>\n<p>Italian tourists tend to be more cautious: data clearly show a last-minute trend, with strong interest in the weekends of June, which drops significantly from July onwards. There is some increase only in the first weeks of August, but for the rest of the month, travel interest is very low, as is interest in September.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sicily_Sardinia_and_Apulia_the_most_requested\"><\/span>Sicily, Sardinia, and Apulia the most requested<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The destinations receiving the most searches from Italians are mainly islands: Catania ranks first with 737,000 searches, followed by Palermo (661,000), Olbia (481,000), and Cagliari (392,000).
