FRAMESPORT background
Adriatic small ports and marinas are currently experiencing a rather challenging economic situation due to a surplus of supply compared to demand levels and the increased mean age of users. Boosting competitiveness is a priority for these realities, both for Italian and Croatian ones, which would highly benefit from new business models, measures and actions
aimed at recovering their overall efficiency and attractiveness.
