The regional plan of the tourist port network has entered the Vas phase (strategic environmental assessment) and will then be proposed to the regional council for approval. Meanwhile, the territorial meetings begin: today at the University of Cagliari the public consultation opened by the councilor for public works, Aldo Salaris, took place.

"The strengthening of the network of ports in Sardinia represents an opportunity for the development of the entire island - said Salaris - The port must be not only an infrastructure dedicated to recreational tourism, but also the beating heart of our coastal realities and a privileged access point. to inland areas, to which it is necessary to aim so that they can be a destination for qualified tourist flows, capable of generating work, well-being and wealth, not only for local populations, but for the whole of Sardinia, affirming and enhancing, at the same time, identity territorial, environmental and cultural Sardinian.

Sardinia, with the implementation of the Plan, in the intentions of the Region will become "not only a destination for nautical tourism, extended by lovers of sailing to those who prefer the comfort of motor navigation (from boat owners to those who use the increasingly widespread charter formula, with or without crew), but also the place where the boat is permanently maintained, in equipped garages on land or at sea, with consequent development of shipbuilding for ordinary maintenance and repairs ". Without neglecting, underlined the commissioner, "permanent tourism and safeguarding the spaces dedicated to fishing boats which play an important role in the local economy of coastal centers".

Particular attention will then be given to the issue of safety, and the berths will be better distributed along the Sardinian coasts "with evident repercussions on those small port infrastructures that were normally cut off from the navigation circuit".
