Keep an eye on the seaside resorts, “In Calabria record number of tourists, kilometers of beaches and few services. Municipalities should compete”

«What is the goal that every liberal should pursue? I answer: improve the quality of services. But, if you observe the reality of the Calabrian coasts, you will see expanses of free beaches, unlike in Liguria or Tuscany, for example.” Thus the president of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto, in an interview with Il Foglio. «This, in those regions, involves the presence of positional incomes that do not ensure the quality of the service. In Calabria, however, faced with a record influx of tourists, we find ourselves with kilometers of beaches without services. And, while I invite the Municipalities to make tenders, I find it unfair to dismantle the few facilities that offer a minimum of services. Competition serves to allocate scarce resources, not to produce artificial scarcity,” he adds.
