Santi (Federagenti): the prospects for cruises are positive, but the iconic Venice is excluded from the market
From the Seatrade Cruise in Miami - he announced - the confirmation of the exclusion of the lagoon port of call from the routes of cruise ships
April 27, 2022
In fact, according to the president of the federation of agents Italian seafarers, Alessandro Santi, if the indications that are leaking from the Seatrade Cruise underway in Miami, the main fair cruises of the world, are generally positive, however provide confirmation of an ongoing exclusion of Venice from the itineraries of the main cruise lines that will have certainly consequences on the system of the whole Adriatic in the coming years.
"With Venice - denounced Santi - the home port disappears iconic and most important of the Mediterranean: how it was announced the transitional phase indicated by Decree-Law 103 that provided for actions in favor of the protection of Venice and work it has not produced anything concrete. Neither went to good end: the city is assailed by bite tourism and escape and the quality and added value of cruise passengers organized and high-spending was quickly replaced, with huge multiplicative factors, from daily visitors, "goodbye to hen and celibacy" and alcoholic raids. With the consequence evident of hundreds of workers who have been waiting for months for support and companies legitimately on the run'.
"It does not matter - said the president of Federagenti - who is responsible for the delay but, if in August of the past year a law is made with this name and after eight months nothing has moved, something is obviously wrong. The programming on Venice today you can do it from month to month and ships with their passengers can not wait for bureaucracy Italian'.
Santi denounced that similar fate, or a nothing of fact, suffered the bill that through a competition of ideas, should have provided certainty about the future of the cruise port and container of Venice. The process - he accused - has abruptly stalled, wasting time and money, and confirms the many doubts that had been raised about the mode of the proceedings, which had culpably neglected years of study and of advanced technical comparisons, and unfortunately sanctions a further loss of credibility of the Country System.
