Italian “EcoBonus” is a best practice to be mantained

• Civitavecchia, Venezia, Napoli and Livorno (top
destinations)
• Motor-yachts building (Azimut-Benetti) and Super yacht

about 15.000 tourists with high expenditure capability
The Italian Port System
• Strategic for Continental Europe

• Core Ports: Ancona, Bari, Cagliari, Genova, Gioia Tauro,
La Spezia, Livorno, Napoli, Palermo, Ravenna, Taranto,
Trieste, Venezia
• Container forecast: +7%-8% in the next 4 years
The Italian Port System
The 1994 reform law on Ports was important to achieve
leadership in import/export by sea and cruising
First place in Europe:
• Import-export by sea with 250 millions tons
• Cruise embarkation and destination country with more then
than 10 millions passengers
Urgent to update the law with
bureaucratic proceedings simplification
