Torino and its province
TORINO REPORT CARD
*
The province of Torino ranks fourth in Italy by number of companies and it is the second exporter in the country just after Milan. Its ter-ritory provides an important contribution to the national wealth: in 2007 the GPD in the province was the same of a country like Croa-tia. Its main contributors are the constantly growing service sector as well as its traditional and deeply rooted manufacturing industry. Despite the global recession, Torino is very likely to recover itself and to build its future on high innovative sectors like aerospace technology, biotechnologies and renewable energy sources, as well as through a re-launch-ing of its traditional strength points, i.e. automotive and mechanical industries. Torino can also boast an excellent graduate and post graduate educational offer and a growing tourism industry. The implementation of the high-speed railway line will bring the city closer to most European capital cities and will help to generate new growth opportunities.

TOURISM AND QUALITY OF LIFE
Tourism and quality of life
Torino and its province benefit huge international visibility during the passed Olympic Games: the combination of major historical locations with modern infrastructures designed by the most famous architects worldwide, turned it into a tourist destination attracting both national and international visitors.
This capability of attraction has grown significantly in the past few years: in 2007, Russia was the country with the highest number of tourists visiting Torino, followed by British, French and Spanish. In 2007, the year following the Olympic Games, tourist attraction in the Province of Torino remained pretty much the same. Despite the slight natural drop compared with 2006, Olympic Mountains (Susa Valley and Pinerolo area) remained an excellent tourist destination es-pecially for winter sports, while Torino and its Metropolitan area have been greatly visited thanks to the wide cultural and museum offer in our Region: among the first ten museums in the Torino Metropolitan area, the Museum of Cinema rank first with almost 527.000 visitors, fol-lowed by the Egyptian Museum, while a growing number of visits is also recorded by Palazzo Madama and in the Venaria Royal Residence.
But how are Torino people experiencing the growing presence of tourists in their city?
The increased cost of living affecting the whole country had recoils on household spending patterns: in 2007 the average monthly spending charge amounted to 2.438 euro, with a slight increase compared with the previous year. In 13% was allotted to food while the remaining 87% was spent in non-food goods.
Despite the current economic troubles, families in Torino are getting more and more in technology: more than one family out of 2 owns a control desk, a microwave oven, a dvd player and a digital camera. High-tech items like mp-3 players, navigators and hand-held computers are in the houses of almost one family out of four.
