“The Puglia Easy to Reach project will not leave out any Apulian provincial territory”. The reassurance comes from the Transport and Tourism councilors of the Puglia Region, who indeed give full willingness to reopen the discussion with the provincial bodies, who have not yet sent project proposals on the connections to be financed with the aforementioned project.
In the last session, the Council approved the transfer of one million euros, included in the regional budget for the Puglia Easy to Reach project, to the Provinces of Foggia, Bat, Brindisi and Lecce, who presented their proposals for new car connections between the Apulian airports and the main tourist destinations in the area for the summer period.
“Given the imminent summer season and considering that discussions with the Provinces have already begun in March to collect their project proposals, a phase which has still officially collected four projects to date, it has been decided to allow those provinces already available, to start with their activities, bringing the resolution to the Council to proceed with the activation of the connections – explain the councilors -. And precisely with the intention of not ‘forgetting’ any territory, it was specified in the same resolution to reserve a possible subsequent provision for the allocation of further resources, should requests be received from the two Provinces which, at present, have not yet expressed their participation.”
Puglia Easy To Reach, moreover, was born from the synergy between the Tourism and Mobility Departments, with the specific intention of promoting connections to touristically attractive sites for the benefit of all Apulian destinations, thus implementing the indications of the Strategic Tourism Plan. It inherits what has already been experimented with Gargano Easy to Reach and extends it to the entire region, in order to promote the whole of Puglia as a tourist destination, making all the Apulian airports easier to reach. Precisely to make the economic impact of the project on the territories more effective, the councilors are available for a new discussion, also with the trade associations of the non-participating territories to evaluate their requests. But above all, the councilors invite the provincial bodies that have not yet put forward their proposals to make up for lost time and the initial inertia, so as to be able to activate new car connections relating to the LPT between airports and places with a main tourist vocation already this summer season /cultural.
