CONCLUSION ......................................................................................................................................... 36 1. INTRODUCTION Intermodal Passengers Connectivity between Ports and Airports (INTER-PASS) is a project approved under the INTERREG V-B Adriatic-Ionian Transnational Cooperation Programme 2014-2020. The programme is funded by the European Regional Development Fund under the European Territorial Cooperation objective, which provides support to regional cooperation between countries of the Adriatic-Ionian Region during the programming period 2014-2020. The project will be implemented by 8 project partners and one associated partner. The project has started in January 2018 and it is expected to be finished in December 2019. The total budget approved for the project amounts to 1.498.568 EUR, 85% of which is co-financed through the ERDF fund (European Regional Development Fund). Within the Adriatic-Ionian Region there are many maritime cities which have to deal with a very high number of passengers during the peak season and in which cruise tourism is an important factor of regional and local development. However, most of these “homeports” for cruisers & ferries are suffering from a lack of integration within various modes of transport, especially with regional airports. The overall objective of the INTER-PASS project is to enhance the intermodal connections between ports and airports in the Adriatic–Ionian Region in order to improve the processing of passengers, mainly cruise tourists and travellers reaching tourist destinations located on Adriatic and Ionian costs during the peak season. The project will produce 3 specific outputs: 1. Cooperation networks on intermodal and multimodal connectivity between ports and airports located in the Adriatic-Ionian Region. The network will be a place where partners and other stakeholders will exchange knowledge on innovative solutions (techniques, methods, operating codes etc.) that could be easily and successfully adapted in the Adriatic-Ionian context. 2. An action plan for each territory which will define solutions to be tested and implemented in involved cities. The testing of 4 identified solutions to be implemented in Dubrovnik, Pula, Bari and Corfu during the Summer of 2019 with the objective to significantly speed up the tourist processing between ports and airports. 3. Elaboration of a joint Integrated Strategic Plan for multimodal passenger transportation between ports and airports to be shared with other ports, airports, and authorities located in the Adriatic- Ionian Region Within the project, as part of second technical work package, Action plan for implementing pilot action needs to be implemented in every project region (4 action plans). 1 2. THE TERRITORIAL, ECONOMIC AND LOGISTIC CONTEXT OF THE SITE Territorial aspects Apulia is a region in Southern Italy bordering the Adriatic Sea to the east, the Ionian Sea to the southeast, and the Strait of Otranto and Gulf of Taranto to the south. The region comprises 19,345 square kilometers (7,469 sq mi), and its population is about four million. Puglia is the easternmost region of Italy and one of those with the greatest coastal development with an extension of the coasts of about 865 km. Its territory is flat for 53%, hilly for 45% and mountainous only for 2%, which makes it the least mountainous region of Italy, and has a typically Mediterranean climate. In Puglia there are two National Parks (Alta Murgia and Gargano), three marine protected areas (Tremiti Islands, Porto Cesareo and Torre Guaceto), eleven Regional Parks, and State and Regional Reserves. These protected areas are located throughout the regional territory, and constituting in fact a capillary naturalistic network that favor the development of adjacent population centers. This naturalistic context is also linked to the production and enhancement of agri-food products, including 39 DOP and 13 IGP (cheeses, oils, wines, fruit and vegetables and bakery products). A added value is represent to the presence of numerous presidium Slow Food and the presence of the "Plain of centennial olive trees", inscribed on the National Register of Historic Rural Landscapes of the National Rural Network. The presence in Puglia of as many as 5 UNESCO sites, including Castel Del Monte, the Trulli of Alberobello, the Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo, Castel Fiorentino in Torremaggiore and the beech forests of the Umbra Forest, as well as the proximity of the Sassi of Matera, European Capital of Culture 2019, represent an important cultural attractors. Due to its geomorphological features, Puglia is composed by copious amount of historicals burgs, including 11 inscribed in the club of the most beautiful burgs in Italy, that are characterized by architectures and archaeological elements of considerable importance. Finally, the presence of ancient Roman roads, the Via Appia and the Via Traiana, as well as the roads of transhumance with the adjacent regions and the itinerary of the Apulian aqueduct, have determined an increase in slow and intermodal tourism and in the same time of pilgrimages that from Rome , through Puglia, are directed towards the east coast. 2 ISTAT indicators According to the results from the latest census of the National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in the Regional Unit of Apulia 4.048.242 permanent residents are recorded. Demographic indicator population on 1 January Period 2018 Sex males females total Puglia Total 1.967.751 2.080.491 4.048.242 Foggia 306.374 318.937 625.311 Bari 613.606 643.914 1.257.520 Taranto 281.478 298.841 580.319 Brindisi 190.392 204.585 394.977 Lecce 382.596 416.295 798.891 Barletta-Andria-Trani 193.305 197.919 391.224 Following the trend of the Apulian residents data of recent years: 3 Moreover according to ISTAT data, the air transport data are the following: Arrivals - departures Total Type of air service scheduled flights Period 2016 2017 Vector nationality World commercial goods and passengers commercial goods and passengers movements mail movements mail Air transport indicators transported transported - tons - tons Airports Bari-Palese Macchie 31.856 1572 4.240.869 33.573 1.457 4.571.537 Brindisi-Casale 15.844 15 2.277.420 15.497 42 2.281.015 While those related to maritime transport are as follows: Form of navigation all the voices Period 2017 Indicators disembarked embarked passengers disembarked and embarked passengers (thousands) passengers (thousands) (thousands) Port of embarkation and disembarkation Bari 576 577 1.153 Brindisi 273 227 501 4 Economic indicators and Gross Regional product The last ten years have seen a transformation of the shipping world and of the port SYSTEM absolutely not comparable with that which occurred in previous years, this certainly following the "frenzy" due to the evolution of technology and the speed with which changes have occurred to global level, both in political and economic and infrastructural terms. It was thus possible to witness the phenomenon that is called "dimensional, material and immaterial stopover". As indicated in the PNSLP, “the different speed of growth of the geographic areas of the world has created new traffic opportunities, in fact well defined in terms of directions but by not simple quantification as well as not easy “capture ” by Italian ports.

    PHYSICOCHEMICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE ADRIATIC AND THE IONIAN SEAS Ekaterini Souvermezoglou 1* and Evangelia Krasakopoulou 1 1 Hellenic Centre for Marine Research Institute of Oceanography - [email protected] Abstract The ability of the Adriatic in renewing the deep waters of the Eastern Mediterranean is investigated in relation to the properties of the LIW entering from the Ionian Sea. This study is based on oxygen and nutrient data collected in the Otranto strait and the surrounding area between 1987 and 2000. Keywords: Oxygen, Nutrients, Intermediate waters, Otranto Strait The Adriatic Sea is a semi-enclosed basin shallow in the north and deep in the south. It communicates with the Ionian Sea thought the Strait of Otranto, a 70 km wide and 800 m deep channel. The general circulation in the Adriatic basin is cyclonic [1] consisting from a rather weak current along the eastern coast (the Eastern Adriatic Current - EAC) and a fast mainly coastal current along the western coast (the West Adriatic current - WAC). The Ionian Sea is a deep (up to 4000m) and wide basin which receives salty and warm waters from the easternmost part of the Mediterranean and fresher and relatively colder water from the western Mediterranean. The EAC bring Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) and Ionian Surface Water (ISW) into the Adriatic [2]. Adriatic is prone to strong winter outbreaks of cold dry northerly winds which induce extended heat losses and evaporation, that drive to deep water formation events. During cold winters and restricted fresh water input, the densest water in the whole of the Mediterranean, the North Adriatic Dense Water (NAdDW) is formed over the shallow northern shelf of the Adriatic [3].

    Voluntary - Public Clearance Office: All - FAS Date: 3/20/2009 GAIN Report Number: AL9003 Albania Post:Rome Doing Business in Albania Report Categories: Exporter Guide Approved By: Jim Dever Prepared By: Dana Biasetti Report Highlights: The Republic of Albania is a small former Communist nation situated on the Strait of Otranto which acts as a gateway between Western and Eastern Europe. While one of Albania’s priorities is to join the EU and NATO, they are already members of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), and the WTO. General Information: The Republic of Albania Overview With the fall of communism throughout Eastern Europe, Albania has slowly started to reap the benefits of a hard earned democracy. The Republic of Albania may still have a very long way to go but seems to be slowly working towards improving its’ economy, poor infrastructure, rampant corruption, and high unemployment rate. Total estimated population in 2007 was 3.18 million of which over 90 percent are ethnic Albanian. The official language is Albanian (however many also speak Italian). Religions include Muslim (Sunni and Bektashi), Albanian Orthodox, and Roman Catholic. The average age in Albania is 28, with over 65 percent of the population between the ages of 15 and 64. Albania is located on the Strait of Otranto (separating the Adriatic and Ionian seas) and acts as a gateway between Western and Eastern Europe. The ruling Democratic Party in Albania is led by Prime Minister Sali Berisha, and the next Parliamentary elections are scheduled for June 2009. One of Albania’s priorities is to join the EU and in doing so signed in 2006 the Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Union.

    Daily Itinerary D 1 VBT Self-Guided Bicycle Vacation begins / Loop ride Alberobello to Locorotondo We suggest arriving in Italy at least one day prior to the tour start date as your tour begins at 10:00 a.m. Make your own way to Alberobello, where you begin your self-guided adventure. VBT provides several options for your travel to Alberobello in our Road Book, or you can decide your own path. If you have enabled your iPhone or Android smartphone for use in Italy and provided your phone number, your VBT local host will text you to reconfirm meeting details and keep tabs on your progress. Upon arrival in Alberobello, you just might feel as if you’ve stepped into a fairytale, thanks to its many trulli. These white-washed, dry-stone round huts capped with conical limestone roofs were constructed without mortar to be quickly disassembled when word got around that the taxman was on his way. Their original purpose was to store agricultural tools; they later became dwellings. Today, they are a carefully preserved symbol of Puglia and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many have been beautifully restored for modern living, including the ones clustered within the hotel village that welcomes you today. Meet your VBT local host at 10:00 a.m. for your welcome orientation, along with any other VBT guests departing on the same day, in the lobby of the Trulli & Puglia (Piazza Gabriele D’Annunzio 2, +39 080 4324376).
