From what FAITA Federcamping understands, it was 38 years overdue to adjust the R.L. No. 28 of 1986 at the national level , most recently expressed in Legislative Decree No. 79/2011. The approval of the proposed Law “Discipline of open-air tourist accommodation complexes,” on the initiative of Regional Councillor Antonello Talerico, revitalizes the Calabrian tourist accommodation sector characterized over the years for a dynamic growth in both demand and turnover.
According to FAITA Federcamping, this is an important achievement for a region with a strong tourist vocation such as Calabria. Following, we report what was stated by Regional Councilor Antonello Talerico:
“The absence of a regional regulatory instrument has in fact constituted a profound competitive and qualitative gap for Calabrian businesses, severely limiting any mode of development of the sector and making it the tail end of the entire nation, but it has also compromised the operation and management of businesses, exposing them to regulatory and administrative discrepancies with possible sanctioning effects, up to and including the closure of the same, as well as the opening of criminal proceedings against many entrepreneurs.”
What does the new standard consist of?
The standard identifies the housing units (tents, caravans, maxi-caravans, mobile homes and the like as structures not permanently fixed to the ground) and the facilities (appurtenances and accessories such as preentries and kitchens complementary to the housing units) that campsites and tourist villages may have for the purpose of providing accommodation , and brings them within the scopeof free construction not constituting activities relevant to urban planning and construction, as provided for in the national standard.
In addition, the new regional norm stipulates that services (refreshments, bars, food and miscellaneous stores; sports and recreational facilities, etc.) as well as wellness center activities of tourist complexes, in proportion to their accommodation capacity, can be enjoyed not only by the people accommodated but also by the public.
Finally, the new Law clarifies and updates the criteria for classifying facilities (so-called stars), which to date have been inadequate because they date back to 1986.
In addition, the approval of the new Tourism Law will enable businesses to access facilities under the NRP, a circumstance that was previously impossible. In particular, it has now been made possible to access facilities and financing related to renovations and upgrades, the provision of new mobile accommodation, procedures for the removal of architectural barriers and energy efficiency activities.
