On Thursday 6 and Friday 7 October 2022, Bari will be hosting the fifth edition of the Adriatic Sea Forum – Cruise, Ferry, Sail & Yacht, an itinerant international event dedicated to maritime tourism in the Adriatic, conceived and organized by Risposte Turismo, this year in partnership with the South Adriatic Port Authority System and Pugliapromozione.
The Adriatic Sea Forum will be visiting the cruise terminal of Bari, following on from the success of the previous editions held in Trieste (2013), Dubrovnik (2015), Budva (2017) and Ancona (2019), which saw an average of more than 30 international speakers and 200 participants, including entrepreneurs, managers, figures from the public administration, researchers and European project experts.
Once again, the forum will offer the opportunity for intense debate and a close look at issues of importance for the future of the cruise, ferry, sailing and motorboat sectors in the Adriatic, an area looked onto by 7 nations (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, Italy and Slovenia) and which includes 25 regions and over 150 tourist destinations.
Topics and themes of the 2022 edition
Numerous themes will be tackled during the programme, including:
- an analysis of the type and volumes of traffic in the Adriatic area after a two-year period that has witnessed a significant reduction in tourist flows, not only by sea;
- new developments regarding cruise itineraries and ferry links, with new ships and new routes;
- the actions that could be taken to support nautical tourism in the Adriatic;
- investments by ports, companies, local public administrations and suppliers in general to promote sustainability and respect for the environment,
- the economic and occupational impact that could be guaranteed in the area by maritime tourism.
Particular attention will also be reserved for the specific needs of cruises, ferries and boats, with regard both to infrastructures and promotion, as well as public action to support the sector.
