December 13, 2011
Assomarinas, the Italian Association Tourist Ports adherent to UCINA Nautical Confindustria and Federturismo to which 88 ports located along all are associated the Italian coast, has indetto for next thursday, near the headquarters of Confindustria to Rome, a shareholders' meeting in order to denounce the serious situation of the tourist portualità that would be come to create, in absence of opportune modifications, with the conversion in law of decrees "Saves Italy", launched 6th December from the new government, that it on May 1°, 2012 previews the application from of a tax anniversary of parking for the pleasure crafts berthed in the ports and Italian public waters.
Assembly of Assomarinas, that it precedes of a single day the shareholders' meeting of UCINA that will hold to Genoa, will make also the point on the block of the investments that interest projects under realization for 18,000 new moorings and of programming for others 30,000 new places boat.
"A precious field of tourism cannot be wrecked so - it has anticipated the president of the association, Roberto Perocchio - when this section is to all famous whom generates 10% of the Gross Domestic Product one and that it represents an important social shock-absorber as way out to the manifacturing section. This norm previewed in I decree - it has restated - is a tax mistaken in its technical formulation because, as use tax, besides the Italians, it hits also the foreign diportisti provoking a general escape from our ports. The effect announcement we are paying it on our skin with an exodus already announced, of beyond 30.000 boats".
Assomarinas has remembered in fact that this year 15% of the traffic of play hooky tourist are represented by foreign diportisti and that, if the norm of the government were not modified, these diportisti would come sure discouraged attending the Italian ports. According to the esteem of the association, a contraction of the traffic of 25%, in terms of lacked induced, would cancel the entire jettison at sea of the tax. To this VAT would join to the lacked contribution on the sale the new units - buyable with foreign leasing - and the decrease of the revenues of the companies of the services and tourism legacies to the use of the property boats the private ones.
"This tax - it has still found Perocchio - is reflected negatively on all the ports under construction that they will not be able to today complete and to place on the market the places boat under realization: in financial terms the block of the investments represents a recessive repercussion of the value of five billions of euro".
From the assembly of Assomarinas it will be therefore launch wounding deeply and determining appeal because corrective ones to a maneuver are introduced all those opportune that - it has evidenced the association - risks to sink all the nautical-tourist section with obvious negatives and dramatic occupational repercussions are in the directed one that in the induced one. "If this did not happen - it has concluded Perocchio - would face to a dramatic situation that would already seriously represent the final blow for a field in difficulty for the economic crisis in existence".
