Tourists are increasingly unwilling to pay high prices for private beaches in Southern Europe. The number of beachgoers staying at Italian private beaches this summer, where sun loungers and parasols can be rented, has fallen by 15 to 25 percent compared to last year due to the high costs. Especially in coastal towns like Rimini and Cesenatico on the east coast, the Riviera Romagnola, beaches are no longer fully booked, unlike in the past.
