I don't know if Italy is having the same problems as the UK, but the
UK regional tourist boards have changed their functions and are now
geared to marketing. Much of their previous hands-on work (i.e. hotel
listings and accommodation inspection/classification) has been
"outsourced". Some of the managers (I'd better not name names on a
public forum) know sod all about tourism and even less about the
regions they're supposedly representing.
