I was the tourism delegate for the Municipality of Bergamo for the year 2013. Tourism is a vital industry for the city of Bergamo, as it creates a huge number of jobs and is a driving force for socio-economic growth and development. Whilst business tourists have always come to Bergamo, in recent years the number of leisure tourists has also increased, meaning that today they represent a large part of the total number of visitors.
