1993 will be the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the first bathing resort in Rimini.

In fact the area was already suffering from overdevelopment before the algae problem, and general tourist dissatisfaction was exacerbated by the negative image based on exaggerated accounts of the algal bloom. Future policy must safeguard resources to provide a reliable holiday environment. |
