(Finance) – “We are ready to encourage private investments through project financing that can increase production both for small pleasure boats and for yachts and luxury boats, associating them with the redevelopment of degraded areas as is already happening, for example, in East Naples. The nautical sector is a strategic sector for the South and we must be able to generate synergies with investors to accelerate the major transformation processes underway not only in the eastern area of the city but also in Mergellina, in addition to the large number of Bagnoli.They are very profitable investments that allow us to look far ahead”. These are the words of Edoardo Cosenza, Councilor for Transport of the Municipality of Naples, at the opening of Conference “Boating as a driving force for the development of the local economy” promoted byOrder of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts, chaired by Eraldo Turi, which took place in the context of the “Nauticsud” fair at the Mostra d’Oltremare.
“The Nauticsud is the flagship of the Mostra d’Oltremare which, together with the many initiatives scheduled for 2023, – said Maria Caputo, managing director of the Mostra d’Oltremare and secretary adviser of the Odcec of Naples – will allow us to carry out a strategic recovery plan for the next few years. Hosting an event in this setting where the extraordinary opportunities that the nautical sector offers to our economy are explored is a source of great satisfaction for me”. Port of Naples: “Only in the Campania coastal strip there are no more than 40,000 berths. A deficiency that is found on all the coasts of the South. These numbers are enough to understand what it means to create an economic circuit around pleasure boating and what the benefits would be in terms of development and employment. All entities must be cohesive in carrying out this project while respecting the environment. We give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the sea, which is our life”.
“The economy of the sea in all its productions – he said Gianluca Battaglia, councilor of Odcec Naples – especially in Campania and Naples, it includes many important resources that must be exploited by exploiting the opportunities offered by national regulations. This challenge is complex but, thanks to the support and training of accountants in this sector, it can be overcome”.
“An extraordinary opportunity that the city must fully understand. I think – he highlighted Pierpaolo Baretta, Councilor for the Budget of the Municipality of Naples – both to the tourist flows generated by the cruise circuit and to the pleasure boating sector. We need to organize the small and large companies that operate in these sectors today. The economy of the sea in Naples today is worth 6% of GDP, a figure that can grow even more”.
