“With the summer season now underway and the arrival of the first visitors, our Region does once again record a very serious delay and a great unpreparedness in the tourism management. While many Italian regions plan actions on a three-year basis or five-year period with tenders and funding for tourism entrepreneurs and municipalities, the Region Calabria continues to proceed with proclamations and spot interventions that do not support the territories in real growth over time.” This is what he states Ernesto Alecciregional councilor of the Democratic Party.
“The sensation is that of navigation by sight, of one total absence of vision, which necessarily discourages entrepreneurs and mayors, such as example those of the “Blue Flag” Municipalities. The latter, in fact, in late June, did not They still have no news on any financing and are very alarmed about it the need to raise funds to organize events and awareness days on environmental theme and the defense of the marine ecosystem”.
“Even last year, in spring, I had reported this situation but, given the results, I think it is necessary to plan access to these loans on a three-year basis, also to provide continuity and support effectively the project that each municipal administration carries out. TOAnother striking case is that of cancellation of trains on the railway line between Central Lamezia Terme and Catanzaro Lido starting from June 10th for at least 50 days, for network modernization works”.

“In a region that should live on tourism, precisely on tourism we continue, unfortunately, to “living day by day”without programming, without any planning. Comes from to think that who should have dictated the policy to the departments perhaps in the last ones times he got distracted by a tiring electoral campaign.”
“Although the President Occhiuto, who (it is worth remembering!) also holds the delegation for tourism, had several times declared in the past that he wanted to deal only with Calabria and not be distracted by it electoral competitions, in recent weeks he has been present on all electoral stages, behaving exactly like everyone he had initially pointed the finger at. A great disappointment that adds to the bitterness of another lost season for ours region.
