Interview with Saverio Cecchi - President of Confindustria Nautica. Over the course of the two years characterized by the pandemic emergency, many people took up pleasure boating and sea activities for the first time which, by definition, allowed them to spend a period of relaxation in complete safety. The boating holiday was rightly perceived as safe because it ensured social distancing. It was a unique chance for many Italians to discover pleasure boating and provided the sector with a further opportunity of business growth. The boating holiday was therefore a privileged choice both to enjoy the beauty of the sea in absolute relaxation and to spend a pleasant break with the family. This way, more and more enthusiasts have chosen to share this moment with their dog, a choice that can make the holiday even more special if owners follow the vet’s advice and take some precautions that can make the experience pleasant and satisfying for both.
