“At Seatrade in Miami there was confirmation of the boom in cruise traffic for the port of Civitavecchia.
Cruise tourism is expected to increase in the coming years but the data that should most interest the city is the increase in per capita spending and the impact on the local economy.
Very distant data hypothesized that cruise passengers left around 100 million in the area every year, obviously the figure could increase.
The “love Civitavecchia” app is certainly a first step and the hope is that all tertiary operators understand the need to create a system in order to guarantee real shopping itineraries to attract cruise passengers.
Cruise tourism is a part of the tourism sector and politicians must put tourism at the center of the programs for the next elections, the desire to restore a territory, a province which has all the fundamentals to be competitive in this sector, to a tourist vocation.
But it must be capable of creating a system; competition in the tourism field occurs between territories and systems, understood as logistics, transport, culture, services, training.
Having a fifth-largest port in the world and a sea economy that develops economy and work makes tourism development that comes from the sea and beyond even more necessary and obligatory.
The hope is that this issue will be concretely addressed in the various electoral programs of the candidates for mayor”.
