| | THE TOURISTS VOICE |  | Ticino and the Piedmont Lake District in the Eyes of their Visitors
Based on a survey carried out by webatelier.net of the Faculty of Communication Sciences, the research shows that internet is the prime source of information on the two regions, and that the main reason why people visit the areas are the landscape, or to visit friends and relatives.
