The Venezia Lavora Committee implores that cruise activities in Venice be rebooed
A temporary restart is also called for pending a final solution
December 1, 2020
The Venezia Lavora Committee recalled that very recent studies pointed out that "the damage resulting from the non-arrival of cruise ships during 2020 identify themselves as well as a billion euros for the lost revenues resulting from the absence of cruise sites distributed in the various national destinations (for missed excursions, overnight stays, purchases, expenses accessories, etc.); and as much as 99.8% of lower receipts for activities of the Veneto Region related to the veneto sector the cross-section.' The Committee stressed that, 'in order to the foregoing, Venice cannot afford to continue to to stall and thus suffer damage of that magnitude.'
"All the workers involved in the sector, be they port areas that of the historic city that of the hinterland that of the regional territory - highlighted the Committee in a note to signature of President Vladimiro Tommasini - reaffirm the need to that cruise activity resumes as soon as possible, even if it is in a transitional way in the preparation of alternative sites, and they don't ask for any kind of welfare but just to receive a certain programme of resuming one's work and maintaining dignity.'
"The only force that allows us to move forward in these dark days - explained the Committee - is the hope that you arrive early on the day on which we will leave and that that day will not we are still denied as it was done this summer when a company that had chosen Venice to start again is been "invited" to choose another port and the workers were left alone. We have recently witnessed to a city council where all the councillors were saying worried about the families of the workers now it's time that words should be ed by deeds."
'In the transitional period,' concluded the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Venice Works - institutions don't betray workers again and the commitment will be mutual: when there is opportunity, help us to return to doing what we know how to do better and we, in compliance with the rules, but especially of the whole city, we will not stop for a moment of request that the transition situation be limited in duration and that a definitive solution is defined and realized for relaunch the cruise industry with respect for the environment and history of Venice."
