The 2026 Winter Olympics, starting on February 6, are generating significant interest, with 850,000 tickets sold and expectations of two million visitors. A study shows 70% of Italians are interested, particularly Americans, who account for 35% of foreign spending. Ticket sales indicate a surge in foreign arrivals, especially from the Netherlands and Canada. The event will feature new sports like ski mountaineering (Skimo) and will have the highest female participation in Winter Olympic history. The Winter Paralympics will follow in March 2026.
