The Bari-Belgrade flight also active for the winter

A concrete step in the strategy of deseasonalization of tourist flows to the region that aims to attract visitors beyond the summer season, expanding the range of international destinations reachable from Bari airport.

The President of Aeroporti di Puglia Antonio Maria Vasile, underlines that Belgrade, the Serbian capital, together with Istanbul represents a crucial hub in the connections between South-Eastern Europe and the Russian Federation, a country with which few direct connections remain active. In this scenario, the continuation of the service also takes on a cultural and symbolic significance: Bari, a city devoted to St. Nicholas, continues to be a point of reference for the Orthodox faithful of the Balkan and Russian area, attracted every year by the possibility of paying homage to the Saint of Myra. An enhancement of religious tourism, linked to the cult of St. Nicholas of Bari, which opens up new perspectives for incoming tourism and the positioning of the region on niche but rapidly expanding tourist segments.
