Deseasonalize and promote tourism
For Antonio Cellie, CEO of Fiere di Parma, the 2023 Camper Show is much more than a simple exhibition of recreational vehicles, which also represent the level of technological evolution that the manufacturers of this sector have reached. “It is the celebration of a rejuvenating, sustainable and unrestricted holiday, highlighting a form of experiential tourism that is constantly growing in popularity. The camper, in fact, does not just represent a means of travelling, but an authentic lifestyle, the luxury of moving in freedom, autonomy and safety”.
