Agriculture, which is traditionally strong in Umbria, has progressed beyond just production. Remarkable investments in technology and quality control are credited for the progress in the above mentioned and also in the environment, woodlands and irrigation. Tourism is a primary source in Umbria. History, culture, the environment, and art make the region a prestigious and pleasurable destination. Umbria is a place worth visiting.
Touristic offerings follow the uniformity of scheduled events which cover each month of the year.
These events, which are given promotion and support, have given Umbria a good image in Italy and abroad. Presently, all efforts are being focused toward the Jubilee 2000. A time when Umbria will be visited by millions of pilgrims and tourists who will be drawn by the regional landscapes, the old suggestive walls of the medieval vi1lages and, of course the religious event. During this time, the region will have the opportunity to attract a great flow of international tourism. Assisi will be the most visited city after Rome.
