Enjoy Elba & The Tuscan Archipelago 2023

Aiuthority sia già oggi una realtà importante per quello che è
il principale settore economico elbano: il turismo. Dobbiamo
puntare alla valorizzazione dell'offerta turistica e al potenziamento
degli standard qualitativi dei servizi di accoglienza. Abbiamo
destinato ingenti risorse agli investimenti nell'ambito
del programma triennale delle opere. A Portoferraio porteremo
a gara l'appalto per la ristrutturazione dell'ex Cromofilm
per destinarla a stazione marittima "
WELCOME AND SAFETY IN THE ELBAN PORTS
The Port System of the Upper Tyrrhenian is planning to
make Elba’s ports even more attractive, improving the
quality of the services provided and the safety of passenger
traffic. There are new opportunities for the cruise sector
with 90 dockings between April and November: in fact,
the Island of Elba offers itineraries and excursions of
great cultural interest even in low season. The Authority
is aiming to improve tourist reception and to have a
better distribution of arrivals and departures, insisting on
midweek days as well as seasonal adjustment.
A study was organized on behalf of the Port System
Authority of the Northern Tyrrhenian by Risposte e Turismo
which involved 400 Elban operators in a survey and
presented it in both Piombino and in Portoferraio: it makes
clear the importance of teamwork that must be activated on
the territory, with all the stakeholders, from the institutions
to the tour operators and the inhabitants of the Island.
Urgent action has to be taken to improve the road network
and public connections between the town centre-port and
the tourist destinations of the area. Especially in Piombino,
it is essential to work on the accessibility and the road
network to avoid heavy traffic and long queues for boarding.
The port spaces will be reorganised and the services
offered in the Maritime Stations and the areas that deal
with reception and tourist information will be upgraded,
involving local operators in training courses. Territorial
marketing actions will follow. “Teamwork is necessary and
must involve multiple subjects” said the President of the
AdSP, Luciano Guerrieri. “We must aim to enhance our
tourist proposals and strengthen the standard of quality of
the reception services where we have allocated considerable
resources. Work will soon be starting on the renovation of the
former Cromofilm to convert it into a Maritime Station”.
