Tourists in Italy We understand that the persistently unfavourable weather

conditions in this country have resulted in a notable increas2 in the number of British visitors to Italy, where at this time of the year one can be certain of fine weather. It is a mistake to imagine that the whole of Italy is too hot in summer. The country is a mountainous one, and therefore has many resorts at high altitudes. British visitors are going mainly to the Dolomites, Italian Alps, seaside resorts such as Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Alassio, Viareggio, Capri, and to the Adriatic coast. A good many find it advantageous to use the railway tickets at reduced rates in force in Italy for families and individuals, particulars of which, and of the hotel charges, can be obtained from the Italian Travel Bureau, 16 Waterloo Place, S.W. 1.
