Corsica Invests €2.5 Million Annually in Airline Seats to Boost Off-season Tourism

Corsica's local government, the Collectivité de Corse, is investing €2.5 million annually to secure 250,000 airline seats each year for the next four years. This initiative aims to attract tourists during the off-season months of January and February, when the island's tourism industry typically experiences a lull. The plan involves subsidizing airline tickets to offer significantly reduced fares, with the government covering the difference between the low ticket prices and the actual cost of flights. Two airlines, Volotea and Air Corsica, have been contracted to operate these routes, with Volotea focusing on domestic routes from French cities and Air Corsica handling international routes from Brussels-Charleroi and Rome. The initiative is expected to generate over €418 million in tourist spending and more than 7 million additional overnight stays over the four-year period.
