Chaos beach concessions, Legacoop Romagna asks for a meeting with local parliamentarians. “A competition for each beach, with different rules for each municipality – we read in a note – it is the nightmare scenario that risks materializing if the Government does not decide to urgently address the issue of concessions, with a political act that provides national guidelines for the entire sector. The recent sentence with which the Council of State confirmed the expiry of the beach concessions on 31 December 2023, in fact, put an end to a narrative that was as consolatory as it was fable-like: the highest level of the administrative judiciary has established that the beach resource is scarce, the competitions must be held, exceptions are null and void.
The king, essentially, is naked. Legacoop Romagna has decided to ask for an urgent meeting with all parliamentarians elected in the area, so that they are activated in all locations to provide a clear regulatory framework very quickly.
It is not possible to place the burden of defining the tender notices on municipal administrations with current standards and current equipment. The result would be unacceptable disparities from one location to another and unsustainable workloads for local authorities.
Chaos, in short. The objective must be to protect a development of seaside tourism that defends the income of those who work on the beach and a model made up of family businesses that guarantee quality and services of the highest level. It is not possible to start another tourist season “sub iudice”, compromising the survival prospects of a fundamental sector for our tourist offer. The damage is becoming more evident every day, starting from the ability to invest and redevelop companies.
The tourist season is now open. Those who come to the beach will be able to find, once again, an open, dynamic and welcoming organisation, made up of high quality services at fair prices, cleanliness and safety of the beach, made possible by our beach businesses and their cooperatives. The valorization of this system is an act of national responsibility that cannot be avoided.”
