The tourist port of Capo d’Orlando is enriched with an additional qualified service with the opening of the new 4-star classified accommodation facility, called “Sestante Marina Motel”. The complex consists of 13 rooms, two of which are suites of the highest level, for a total of 28 beds.
It is the only marina in Sicily to be equipped with hotel accommodation services. Another record achieved after the Capo d’Orlando tourist port last year was the first regional port to obtain the blue flag, a recognition that has also been confirmed for the year 2022.
The opening of the Sestante Marina Motel is one of the objectives of the new business plan approved last March by the company, which through further significant investments has the ambition to equip the marina with services that will further raise its standing, through interventions ranging from the digitization of services, to energy efficiency, to the optimization of waste management up to the safety of both staff and infrastructure.
The positive growth trend, both in the annual occupancy rate and in the average tonnage of the boats, is an indicator of an increasingly high positioning of the marina in the panorama of the offer of tourist port services, both in the regional and in the national context.
The further objective will be to constitute a sort of hinge between the Aeolian Islands and the beauties of the inland areas of the Nebrodi, becoming a driving force for the quality tourism development of the entire territory and stimulating the growth of services directly or indirectly related to tourism.
This is demonstrated by the numerous commercial and service activities that currently operate within the infrastructure or that benefit from the economic repercussions connected to it.
The inauguration of the new accommodation facility will be held tomorrow 14 August at 6.30 pm. Afterwards, as part of a short ceremony, the 2022 blue flag will be hoisted, which was delivered by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), a non-governmental non-profit organization.
The Board of Directors of the Company expresses, on behalf of the Members, the Collegial Bodies and the Staff, its satisfaction with the new results achieved, in sharing with those who, over the years, since the inauguration of the port and, even before, have made it possible.
