New Camper Parking Area Opens in Italy

Motorhome sharing services like Yescapa are experiencing a boom, particularly in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, moving beyond a niche market.

The trend's growth is driven by demand for flexible, accessible travel in nature without long-term ownership commitments.
