Stazioni Marittime has specified that for 2022, also in reason for the ongoing pandemic resurgence due also to the variants, it is still difficult to make predictions, but the hope - specified the company - is that the trend of the campaign vaccination and the gradual relaxation of government measures allow a progressive return to the mobility of people and therefore to a resumption of tourist flows, with an increase in ferry traffic around +15% and a movement of 800 thousand cruise passengers.
