Key characteristics
The dispersion of the 21 districts within the Municipality of Narni and the low population density represent the main issues for the mobility sector. The challenge for residents of the smaller towns, villages and rural areas is the connection both for the main station/hub and for intra-district trips. There is weak or absent connectivity within Narni territory. The lack of connectivity also means that tourists and visitors can’t visit locations and attractions in Narni and its area without their private or rental car. In addition, the hilly and mountainous morphology represent another key factor in the huge use of private motorized transport, both for residents and tourists.
Concerning the tourism sector, the Municipality of Narni and the surrounding areas are characterized by a reasonable offer of accommodation facilities as hotel and bed & breakfast. The offer and the status of the accommodation facilities represents a limit to the potential development of tourism in this area. An important challenge is to make tourists stay longer within the municipality, which means expanding the visitor experience and offers a high level of quality in the hospitality and catering industry.
