A Sardinian business bank to develop tourism projects Federagenti: ready to support a multi-year maritime plan

Firing the first shot was the Sardinia Region’s Councillor for Tourism, Crafts and Commerce, Giovanni Chessa, who at the Forum of Possible Luxury in Porto Cervo, launched the project of the Mediterranean hub of super-luxury on the sea, that is due to be an integrated system between shipyards, ports, airports  that would effectively give Sardinia the Mediterranean primacy of the large yachting market; according to a study presented during the Porto Cervo Forum on possible luxury this market will grant an employment spin-off that means six jobs for every meter of the yachts.

A challenge the Sardinian one, which – as underlined by Ministers Nello Musumeci and Daniela Santanchè – is part of the enlarged perspective of a country, Italy, that focuses on luxury tourism as the excellence of Made in Italy.
A challenge taken up by Federagenti, which has been organizing the Forum of Possible Luxury since 2015 and which – as emphasized by its President Alessandro Santi – is preparing from a privileged vantage point, to contribute in a decisive way (through a multi-year plan) to the construction of an Italy Project for the country’s maritime.

A challenge that-according to Cavaliere del Lavoro, Massimo Ponzellini, Honorary President of the EIB and current President of the Giuseppe Bono Centre-indicated the tools by which Sardinia can and must become the epicentre of luxury tourism: a school that trains young people capable of imparting an acceleration to major projects, a different relationship with institutions, and especially, a Venture capital Bank, a Sardinian financial institution capable of supporting major projects by highlighting the Sardinian community opportunities.
