The beach resorts in that area of North East Italy haven't really died out, they are still massively popular with Italian tourists. A lot of Russians go there as well. It's strange how different nationalities' tastes in holiday destination come and go. At one stage, virtually every regional airport in the UK seemed to have flights to the Dominican Republic, even our friends down at Teesside when it was called Teesside. Now it's just Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester and maybe Glasgow I think. Likewise, I seem to remember flights to Agadir from Newcastle back in my younger days - early 80s, maybe even late 70s?
