The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides support to IORA and the Sustainable Cruise Terminal programme is a component of the cooperation. The first session was held in 2023 and attached is a summary of the Evaluation Report 2025 + Press release..
The programme will be organized with RCT, Formare, Confitarma and Costa and will substantially replicate the 2025 format. The goal is to have approximately 10 senior attendants from different IORA countries, interested in learning and sharing knowledge about sustainable cruise terminals.
You are welcome to flag potential candidates as the scope of the exercise is also to create and consolidate relations and networking in the IORA countries.
