“Top 20” of Mediterranean ports, Trapani + 10.6%. The results announced today, in Cagliari, at “Italian Cruise Day”
Sicily is confirmed, with its 11 cruise ports, in 5th place nationally, after Liguria, Lazio, Veneto and Campania, with 1,304,642 passengers and 719 dockings, a 10.7% increase in cruise passengers and a decrease, – 2.4, of touches, always due to the larger size of the ships, in general in Italy, at the end of 2019, growth is expected both in the number of passengers handled – just over 12 million (they will exceed 13 million in 2020), + 8.8% on 2018 – both for ship touchers (4,857, + 3.2% for 2018). In addition, Italy is a leader in terms of economic and employment impacts: of the 19.7 billion direct expenses in Europe estimated by CLIA, the shipowners’ association, in the last Contribution of Cruise Tourism to the Economies of Europe, 5.46 are at advantage of Italy, and of the 403,000 jobs generated in the continent, 119,000 are Italians. It also leads the ranking by number of companies that have chosen to climb in the ports of the peninsula. “The investments and the commitment of the operators, and of course the favorable morphology as well as the historical, artistic and landscape richness, have contributed to determine the Italian leadership at the Mediterranean and European level,” said Francesco di Cesare, president of Risposte Turismo. “In an increasingly competitive international context, Italy confirms itself as the leading nation in Europe, and among the main ones in the world, in the cruise sector. It is a leadership of traffic, of economic and employment repercussions, of involvement of ports and territories, of participation in the business by a wide category of companies. To consolidate this position, and possibly make it grow further, mutual knowledge – particularly between companies and ports – of priorities, intentions and areas for improvement is essential, understanding once and for all that there can be no structural growth even if only one of the rings of the gear did not find the necessary conditions to operate and to aim at its own growth objectives. The cruise industry represents a positive example within an overall Italian economy which, as is known, accuses backward delays and recessionary curves on many other businesses. As such it must be defended, strengthened and encouraged “.
