- Milan is a major tourist destination for both international and domestic travelers, with total accommodation arrivals rising 20% in 2025 to 9.9 million (68% international), led by strong growth from abroad (+26%) and key source markets including the US, France, Germany, and the UK.
- National and local strategies are supporting more balanced, year‑round tourism demand, with major event-led catalysts-especially the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics-expected to lift arrivals during the Games and sustain post-event visitation through increased global visibility.
- Construction activity in Milan remains resilient and investment-led, supported by public works and event-related regeneration and infrastructure (including Olympic-linked projects, major rail upgrades, and a long-run metro expansion), with sector growth expected to average 2.4% annually through 2035 despite permitting and affordability constraints.
