The Europa campsite in Menaggio, the only one in the town, has been put up for sale. The asking price is reported to be at least 5 million euros for 5,000 square meters of lakeside land designated for tourism. Owners Roberto and Giuseppe Bertarelli confirmed this is a starting price and that interest has already been expressed by multiple parties. The municipality is also considering purchasing the site, but the high figures make this unlikely. Concerns have been raised about the future of affordable tourism and the Lerai beach, the town's only public beach, which the mayor, Michele Spaggiari, has guaranteed will remain public.
