(ANSA) - UDINE, JAN 17 - '' Good results were recorded during Christmas holidays: the hotels of the tourist resorts performed well, there were a lot of tourists in our facilities in the week between the 1st and 6th of January ' '. Paola Schneider, president of Federalberghi Fvg, after the recent winter holidays confirmed that the outcome was ''positive'', despite the less favourable weather conditions. ''The estimates, which spoke of hotels full up to 80%, were right - Schneider added - and this despite the lack of natural snow''. From January 20, the traditional 'white weeks' in Piancavallo, Zoncolan, Tarvisio and Forni di Sopra will begin, bringing new arrivals to the Friuli Venezia Giulia accommodation facilities, according to Federalberghi Fvg. '' The average duration of the stay is now around 4-5 days - said the president - and we are really hoping for heavy snowfalls. Anyway, until March all the hotels of the main ski resorts are full, while those of the ''minor'' resorts are the last to be fully booked. Visitors come mainly from Eastern Europe - Schneider reported - especially from Czech Republic and Poland, but many tourists also come from Hungary, whereas Forni di Sopra is also a destination for Croatians and Slovenians, and the mount Zoncolan is the Germans' favourite. Even some Italian tourists arrive. Looking at the coming months, the glass is half full: we only hope for lots of snow''. (ANSA).
