The global pandemic greatly affected the tourism sector and travel experiences, especially in Italy, as one of the countries most affected by Covid-19. Now that the measures have been released and the country is returning to normal, countries have begun to use a variety of strategies to turn tourists around.
How about a house in the southern region of Calabria, in the small village called Cinquefrondi? So far no one was able to send in the perfect solution, which is not strange.
As you have heard, 1 euro houses are a good way to invite visitors, because in recent years the country has faced severe demographic problems. The population has been significantly reduced and homes have been abandoned!
The mayor of Cinquefrondi has taken the issue so seriously that he has codenamed it "Operation Beauty."
"I grew up in Germany, the place where my parents emigrated, but then I came with the intention of saving my land. Many people have been leaving for decades, leaving behind empty houses," he said.
Despite the natural beauty of the country, parks and bays of the Adriatic and Ionian seas, the village is empty and the only solution to save it is to put the houses up for sale for 1 euro.
Cinquefrondi has no confirmed case with Covid-19 and this offer is different from other free offers that are often circulating.
While other countries sell houses for 1 euro and demand payments starting from 5000 euros as a fine if the buyer fails to renovate the house within 3 years, with Cinquefrondi only requires an annual payment of 250 euros as insurance fee until the house works are completed. .
