Manfredonia. “Ours will not be a silent revolution, but we intend to unleash a contagious positive energy to transform Manfredonia into one of the obligatory tourist stops for those who come to Puglia all year round”. Vincenzo Di Staso, candidate for mayor of Manfredonia for a centre-right coalition, reveals what is not a secret dream but a concrete, achievable project.
“What we want to do is give a strong boost to tourism, determining an impact on the activities that operate in Manfredonia in a sector that represents a cornerstone of the Siponto economy. However, we must create all the services necessary to accommodate a greater flow of tourists and this will mean new jobs. We will ask and obtain the inclusion of Manfredonia in the national tourist circuit to raise awareness of what our city can offer: from the discovery of churches, monuments, castle, archaeological area and naturalistic landscapes.
Furthermore, those who are headed for the Gargano holidays, or to visit the tomb of Padre Pio or the Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo in Monte Sant’Angelo, will have to make a stop in Manfredonia because we will give many reasons to stop in our city. We have prepared a program of initiatives, with monthly appointments, to push tourism deseasonalization. A major event will be organized which will allow weekend tourism to be brought closer even in winter by setting in motion all sectors, from gastronomy to the nursery sector, craft and antiques exhibitions, national gatherings in the sports sector, international exhibitions with displays of large artists. If we want to make Manfredonia great, we must think we can do things big”, concludes Vincenzo Di Staso.
