Tourism and catering, operators ask for a road map. But the unions warn: “No to facade dates”

by admin

ROMA – A certain date, which allows operators to be ready and to be able to work safely. “What matters is having time to prepare our structures”, says Marco Misischia, national president of Cna Tourism and Commerce. “A hotel is a structure that needs planning because if we open hotels overnight we risk finding them empty”, adds Bernabò Bocca, president of Federalberghi. Even the unions fear a “false departure”, which could damage structures and workers: “Now indicating a date for the reopening of tourism – says Fabrizio Russo, national secretary of Filcams CGIL – would risk being a facade announcement: the danger is to restart the companies without tourism having really restarted “.

The request for a reopening, and the conditions for the reopening, also comes from the world of catering and events, which tomorrow will be in Rome in Piazza San Silvestro for the extraordinary assembly in the square proclaimed by Fipe-Confcommercio. In recent months, catering companies have reported the loss of 250 thousand jobs, with turnover losses of 40% with peaks of up to 90% and even 100% for sectors such as catering and discos.

Minister Speranza, interviewed by Republic, he clarified that “there is no X hour in which the measures disappear” even though he said he was “optimistic” about the fact that “this summer we will be able to allow ourselves many more freedoms”. However, operators insist on planning that gives certainty and allows operators to organize themselves. Bernabò Bocca asks for a road map: “The British did it in February, when they had 500 or 600 deaths a day. But they had vaccines, and using mathematics, which is not an opinion, they managed to set the dates for the gradual reopening. Greece has also set the date of May 14. Why can’t we do it? A hotel is not a place where you just pull up the shutter to leave again. The real problem is that we still don’t know how many vaccinations we can manage per day to do “.

“It would at least be useful to have a measurable goal – observes Misicchia – We do not cling to the fact that it is June 2, as aired by the Minister of Tourism, Garavaglia, or June 5 or May 30. What matters is having time to prepare the our facilities “. How much? “It doesn’t take a year, we are almost ready because we have maintained perfect maintenance during this period and we have tried the restart several times. The real problem is to recover the staff: some have had to reinvent a job, the cash register for their families is not enough. . The time we need is that for the recovery of human resources “. “The workers are there and are on layoffs”, objects Fabrizio Russo, national secretary of Filcams Cgil, adding that “the problem concerns those who were precarious even before the pandemic: seasonal, on call, administered”.

Reopening safely, but as soon as possible, is also the recommendation of the Fisascat Cisl: “The suffering of the tourism industry has a strong impact on the economic context and therefore on the GDP. The fundamental thing is to be able to accelerate the vaccination campaign that allows to contain the spread of the virus as much as possible, otherwise as soon as there is a relaxation of the measures there is also a resumption of the infection – says the secretary general, David Guarini – but with the restrictions we cannot continue, we cannot prejudice the season tourism, public businesses and hotels are exhausted. We need to give certainties to the entrepreneurial fabric, otherwise suffering ends in disruption and desperation leads to consequences that we cannot afford “.

As for the protocols, says Misicchia, “we know them and we have activated them since last March. In a couple of weeks we can be ready to receive the public”. And therefore at this point “it is important to have a tampon program in the accommodation facilities, to give both operators and customers total health peace of mind and initiate a communication in this sense”. The European Green pass, expected in mid-June, “is a project in which we believe very much, especially to reopen international flows. But if in Italy it is possible to reactivate mobility between Regions before the EU document arrives, it would be wise to facilitate travel domestic tourism: use the Immuni App to load a sort of Italian pass “. In practice, the Sardinian pass model extended on a national scale.

As for the sensations gathered along the supply chain, Misischia expects the summer to be positive, “like last year but with greater awareness and attention. Sea and mountains have good chances, unfortunately the cities of art will still suffer. “For this he launches an idea:” Making the most of our ‘open-air museums’ to attract visitors: from archaeological parks to monuments, they are a unique treasure that Italy must ride. “In times of Covid, walking around Pompeii is better than closing yourself in the Louvre.
