- The fifty-first edition of the Genoa International Boat Show has seen an influx of visitors around 226mila (-13%)
- From politics - Assomarinas complaint - no retroactive clarification on the taxation of State fee that penalizes the marinas
 The fifty-first edition of the International Boat Show closed its doors yesterday at Fiera di Genova recording - in a period of acute economic crisis - an estimated total inflow 226mila visitors, a decrease of 13% in 2010.
- "The Genoa Boat Show - underlined the President of Fiera di Genova SpA, Sara Armella - has confirmed his great appeal among the world's remaining quality and completeness. We believe that the drop in attendance - and I would say almost physiological expected - has been offset by a series of innovations that have found immediate and positive feedback from both exhibitors and the public.I refer, for example, the opening evening of the program "GenovaInBlu" and greater coordination with the city, the expansion of educational activities for youth sports and the inclusion of spaces for reflection, what were the exhibition dedicated to 150 years Unification of Italy and the discussion of "Seven moved to Italy." As organizers, for future editions we have to leverage on these factors to encourage more and more qualitative growth. " "Our appreciation - has added the CEO entity exhibition Genovese, Joe De Simone - goes to all the companies that have invested and believed in the Hall and collect a positive result at a difficult time."
- "The 1,300 exhibitors - has confirmed the president of Confindustria Ucina-Marine, Anton Francesco Albertoni - is an outstanding achievement given the current market situation. The fears were allayed on the eve and the results were above expectations. The Genoa Boat Show could be so for the Italian industry quell'inversione a first step towards a trend that had occurred in the first quarter of 2011.Entrepreneurs have continued to believe and invest in the second half, leading to this show a great number of innovations - more than 450 models only with regard to the boats - with a focus on medium-sized boats. "
- In terms of tourist ports Assomarinas, the Italian Association of Marinas in Ucina-member Confederation of Nautical and Federturismo, has complained about not getting any clear answer from the many meetings arranged at the Genoa International Boat Show for the 100 marinas that - has stressed the association - "are torn between crisis and courtrooms to try to stem the devastating effect on the balance sheets caused most of the sailing facilities in the country for the improvident retroactive imposition of the State fee."
- "Pacta sunt servanda", denounced the president of Assomarinas, Roberto Perocchio, highlighting that this is not only a fundamental legal principle of any civilized society, but also a fundamental rule for the country's sound economic development."We are, however - he explained - in front of a purple state that clearly at the time the contracts concluded with private investors involved in the management of ports and that by 2007 it expected regulatory clarification to clear up a colossal mistake to extend the payment of amounts not previously been required to tourist port companies have based their business plans on completely different assumptions. " "It is therefore useless - he said - talking about the" great systems "when no one will be so naive to invest in a country whose" terms "are so easily broken."
- Assomarinas observed that such a situation, which undermines investment in marinas Italian, is also confirmed by the study presented in Genoa Boat Show National Observatory (ONN), which "denounces a paltry 15% of foreign presence in marinas national obvious cause of the infinite bureaucracy, the suffocating, though legitimate checks and a tax on services to boaters that contributes to poison the few days of vacation on the Italian coast. "
- "If you seriously want to work for the recovery - has concluded Perocchio - State Property Agency and Ministry of Finance will introduce in the first place in the next order to develop a transitional rule to close permanently the bitter litigation on maritime domain just as there are dozens and dozens of actions already underway that are likely to last for ten years with the result to produce total paralysis of all the investments already planned for redevelopment, restructuring, technological modernization and the promotion of our marinas.
