Long weekend of 2 June, the bathing season is starting: umbrella prices +16% – Corriere.it

As far as destinations are concerned, many will choose to spend the long weekend in seaside resorts. But not even under the umbrella, says Federconsumatori, the Italians will be safe from price increases: according to the data collected, the costs of the bridge on 2 June show overall increases of 11%. In detail, the cost of the deck chair (which is back in vogue among the preferences of Italians, +42%), of the beach umbrella (+16%), of the season pass (+29%) and day pass (+12%) is growing above all . The tightness of family budgets pushes citizens to opt for shorter and less costly uses of these services, so much so that the half-day formulas are back at the establishments, for those who want to enjoy the convenience of the establishment after 2.00 pm. There are also other strategies and apps used to save money, which allow you to make equipment available to other people at a discounted price for the period or hours in which you are not present on the beach.

Alongside the new ways of booking and sharing equipment, there are also new services this year, linked above all to well-being and self-care: from yoga/Pilates courses on the beach, to massages, to Sup rental. the costs of these services were monitored by our Observatory, which found peaks of +25% for the maxi umbrella and the cost of yoga/pilates, +13% for massages. On the other hand, the expected cost to enjoy the tan in the company of our four-legged friends in the dog area is down by -5%.
