Federagenti, the federation of the Italian shipping agents, considers that the field of mega the yachts, and therefore of the nautical one from diporto that it occupies the higher belt of luxury tourism, could act from pacer for the remittance in motion of the entire particularly hit Italian tourist section from the impact of the crisis determined from the pandemic of Covid-19. According to the federation, this section could act as element of towing in particular in those geographic areas, firstly the Sardinia, that the consequent greater risks run the emergency coronavirus.

Evident that of mega the yachts does not take part of the essential activities that they are maintained in function in the course of the acute phase of the crisis. But for Federagenti this section has however the suitable characteristics in order to to be included among those activities that is being programmed to reactivate soon: the federation in fact has specified that, according to an analysis lightning bolt which set up from own Section Yacht, the characteristics of mega the yachts are own, that is the limited number of passengers (not more than 12) that they are authorized to accommodate with a reduced crew, to return these real boats potentially "messengers" of the reopening to tourism of some between the most evocative and fascinating marine destinations of international tourism.
The yacht - it has specified the federation - for its characteristics is independent, self-sufficient person, easy controlable in its movements, but it is at the same time big concentrating of "spending".

Imagining that he will be able to happen, president of the Section Yacht of Federagenti, Giovanni Gasparini, have annotated: "certainly: the initial debut of season will be inspired to the maximum precaution, with mooring in oadstead or zones of the tourist ports that do not turn out of easy access. In any case also this start up will involve the reactivation of technical activities, maintenance, supplying and catering in a position to reviving the system. Therefore, as the pressure of the Covid-19 will stretch to loosen up mega the yachts will be able also symbolically to favor and "to drag" a total rapprochement also of the nautical boats of smaller dimensions, giving again lymph to the entire row and favoring a late recovery though, of the potentialities of the summery season".

Federagenti has remembered as in the 2019 world-wide fleet of mega yacht it has exceeded the 5,500 units, with 416 new boats under construction, of which 38% in Italian yards, and as these great boats of luxury have carried out in Italian tourist ports beyond 9.000 touched with medium pauses of four days, assuring to the tourist row an average of occupation assigned pairs to nine for every meter of length of a great pleasure craft.

According to Gasparini, "it would be time indispensable that Regions as the Sardinia was engaged in an active role, in close collaboration own with the large groups who represent the more important pleasure crafts that habitually they operate in the Mediterranean (in the 2019 have been more than 1.500), guaranteeing for example areas not of free access in the tourist ports, procedures certifyd (and therefore spendable also within a campaign of territorial marketing to international level) of sanificazione of the docks, sure distances to earth for example towards commercial exercises and centers of catering that supply high guarantees of protection".

"The world of the yachts - it has concluded president of Federagenti Yacht - has some only characteristics that of it makes the optimal standard-bearer of throws again tourist. On one side these boats are controlable and verifiable easy also in their displacements; from the other in collective imagination, also thanks to the frequent presence on board of personages VIP, they are able to supply a reassuring sign to an international community, that it will exit from the quarantine, being dragged itself I lean anguish and fears and that it will have a vital necessity of amusement".

Federagenti asks to make to share the nautical one from diporto of luxury
Gasparini assures and reassures: "the initial debut of season will be inspired to the maximum precaution"

The comment inforMARE

It is obvious, we believe to all and in particular to who it has the responsibility to govern a national collectivity, than sooner or later, also in the malaugurato case in which the crisis determined from the pandemic of Covid-19 one is not seting off on solution from the sanitary point of view, than other asset, besides those closely essential, they will have to be reactivated in order to avoid a financial ruin of the economy.

It is reasoned, in Italy and elsewhere, on which to restore for first. Test and necessary to program it, any will be the date of restart of the job.

Anyone has an activity free lance or in municipality with little or many people it is worried of being excluded from the list of the second categories that will be able for first or for reopening the clappers. If for some it is egoism, for many others the anxiety is dictated from fear not to succeed to set upright again itself. A anguish that is pairs, and sometimes advanced, to that of being able to be contaminated. And another has something to do is with the rationality that with the irrationality.

Certainly it has also sense that anyone has the authority to decide which activities to unblock for first hurry to identify them in those which in concrete terms they can produce benefits for the collectivity, or that at least they are perceived as dispensatrici of usefullness it is diffused.

To we it seems, you tell us if we mistake, than the nautical one from diporto of luxury is not between these Sure its dazzling glares do not be exhausted in itself same. The production of a sweater is ambivalent also, that it can be used in order to defend itself from the cold or as whim to hang in closets crammed to the improbable one of apparel heads. Even if it would be necessary to find that who is wealthy, but truly been successful, does not have to be worried as well as of the cloth, how much of the wardrobe and its capacity.

And already here, but, the work of convincement of Federagenti seems, is the case to say it, to be unsound. Whoever imagines that these "big ones to spend" - Russian, Americans or even homegrown - will be able to disembark in some resort where to spend money like water must undeceive itself. President of the section Yacht of the federation speaks in fact about "mooring in oadstead or zones of the tourist ports that do not turn out of easy access". A true "Indiana reserve" where, for once, finally, the rich ones are not forced to grey partridges outside.

What is made then? One parts them to land to earth or it is limited to us to even admire them from the coast hoping that they launch some currency?

That that of the rich ones - to not of they want us - is a special category is fuor of every doubt and it is not never, therefore, than these distributors of well-being they risk then, coming down magnanimously to earth, of being infected. Because, it is known, on mega the yacht, even if not properly pharaonic, is not as well as issue of safety distances, how much of the fact that between rich is not contaminated to us. Well-known, opulence is not pandemic.

Federagenti has a solution also for this: nowadays the red are not enough carpet, are necessary "sanificazione of the docks, sure distances to earth for example towards commercial exercises and centers of catering that supply high guarantees of protection". They are the suggestions of Gasparini so that the illustrious hosts do not run risks.

But the best must still arrive. And here the doubt rises that virulence of the pathogenic ones has hit also the representatives of the federation of the Italian shipping agents. If only we would have a rational or irrational explanation that is to this delirium.

To these "big ones to spend" - according to Gasparini - we will have to be pleasing also only if they will be made to see in front of ours spiagge and, even, will give to a salute churning the small hand to us. For president of the section Yacht of Federagenti, in fact, these mega yachts "in collective imagination, also thanks to the frequent presence on board of personages VIP, are able to supply a reassuring sign to an international community, that it will exit from the quarantine, being dragged themselves lean anguish and fears and that it will have a vital necessity of amusement".

Citing Antonio de Curtis - prince yes, but of the laughter - it would come to answer to it: but make the pleasure me!

And it is clear: if the nautical one from diporto, greater the field of or smaller that is, is one of the last ones to leave again, the responsibility will be alone and only of Federagenti and seducing its scenes.
