FUTUREMED: WHAT IT HAS PRODUCED AND THE TEST AT LARGO DELLA PACE

The project, which was put into action when an Infomobility online platform and a travel planner service were launched, allows tourists and travellers to easily find their bearings and get around. In the past few days, at the Information point of Largo della Pace, Port Mobility staff has been providing the typical tourist and mobility information using the online services, thanks to this project. Impressions and feedback from tourists have been collected on purpose and they will be presented at the final conference on May 20th.

The project involves a wide geographical area, including Italian, Greek, Spanish, French, Slovenian and Cypriot partners, as well as associated partners from Malta, Croatia and Morocco.

The final conference will take place in a day structured in three sessions, both institutional and technical. On May 20th, from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm, are scheduled interventions of Medcruise, Association of Mediterranean Cuise Ports, and international logistics operators, as well as Futurmed partners.
