On the occasion of the inauguration, in the presence of the Minister of Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility, Enrico Giovannini, the president of the Veneto Region, Luca Zaia, has remembered that the cruise industry is worth 3% of the GDP of Venice, a tourist turnover quantified at 400 million euros.
Fulvio Lino Di Blasio, President of the Port System of the Northern Adriatic Sea and Commissioner extraordinary for cruises, he recalled how Venice starts from a situation that saw her, before Covid, get to welcome 565 cruise ships and that today, in the light of the decree 103/2021 "Urgent measures for the protection of waterways of cultural interest and for the preservation of Venice" of the last first August, aims, thanks to these new landings, to a target of 200 cruise ship touches for 2022, including 32 for the "Liguria" quay that will be operational from next Saturday.
