Του Γιάννη Σπυρούνη
Οριστικοποιήθηκε το πρόγραμμα των αφίξεων των κρουαζιερόπλοιων στο Κατάκολο για το 2018. Συνολικά αναμένονται 211 αφίξεις, με την πιθανότητα μερικών έκτακτων ακόμα ή απωλειών λόγω καιρικών συνθηκών. Η χρονιά αναμενόταν πτωτική, το φαινόμενο δεν είναι σπάνιο και έχει να κάνει με τον προγραμματισμό των εταιριών που θέλουν να προσφέρουν στο επιβατικό κοινό περισσότερες επιλογές ταξιδιού.
Το 2019 ωστόσο αναμένεται να είναι μια χρονιά ανάκαμψης γενικότερα για την κρουαζιέρα στην Ελλάδα και για το Κατάκολο, που βρίσκεται στην πρώτη πεντάδα των αφίξεων σταθερά τα τελευταία χρόνια.
Οι τρεις πρώτοι και ο τελευταίος μήνας του έτους, σχεδόν πάντα έχουν πολύ μικρό αριθμό αφίξεων, καθώς το ενδιαφέρον για την περιοχή το χειμώνα είναι πολύ περιορισμένο. Σύμφωνα με το πρόγραμμα τον Ιανουάριο υπήρξαν δύο αφίξεις, ο Φεβρουάριος έχει μόλις μια, ο Μάρτιος 5, ο Απρίλιος 19, ο Μάιος 27 οπότε και ξεκινά ουσιαστικά η σεζόν, ο Ιούνιος 28, ο Ιούλιος 26, ο Αύγουστος 29, ο Σεπτέμβριος 23, ο Οκτώβριος 31, ο Νοέμβριος 15 και ο Δεκέμβριος 5. Ο Οκτώβριος είναι παραδοσιακά ο μήνας με τις περισσότερες αφίξεις στο έτος και στο παρελθόν η κίνηση δεν έπεφτε κάτω από τις 50 αφίξεις, έχοντας φτάσει και τις 60.
Η ημέρα με τις περισσότερες ταυτόχρονες αφίξεις θα είναι η 6η Αυγούστου με τέσσερα κρουαζιερόπλοια στο λιμάνι του Κατακόλου, ενώ τρεις αφίξεις θα έχουμε στις 26/4, 31/5, 21/6, 27/8, 17/9, 1/10, 2/10 και στις 7/11…
