Investment opportunities


The rich landscape and heritage of Italy, together with the Italian passion for food and drink, make it a compelling country to visit, creating attractive investment opportunities. Traditionally dominated by families and independents, the market is adopting new ideas such as eco hotels and luxury wine tours. As a result the sector was thriving prior to Covid-19, with a record value of €6 billion in the year to July 2019.
