The European Cruise manifest Council worry for the impact negative on the cruises of strike of the Norwegian pilots
Manfredi Levebvre d' Ovid: the risk is to carve the attrattività of Norway which crocieristica destination
June 1, 2012
The European Cruise Council (ETC) has manifested worry for the impact negative that strike of the Norwegian pilots, from Wednesday in existence slid, is having on the crocieristica activity in Norway. The European crocieristica association has emphasized that this abstention from the job determines an immediate loss of entrances for the ports and the communities that are visited by the cruise ships.
Moreover ETC has evidenced that, because of the seasonality of the crocieristica activity in Norway, any interruption of the services in the summery period will determine more the negative possible economic impact, above all for the remoter coastal communities.
"If the interruption of our operating procedures continues - the president of the European Cruise Council has declared, Manfredi Levebvre d' Ovid - then carves the attrattività of Norway which crocieristica destination. If not there is stability in a nation - it has added - then becomes difficult to include those destinations in the planning of the routes".
If the Norwegian government will identify and adopt the possible measures in order to diminish the impact of this and the any future strike "is sure - it has concluded the president of ETC - than the confidence in Norway which goal of crocieristico tourism will remain unchanged and that there will be a future increase for the benefit of all the interested parts".
