Italia e Florida: una collaborazione economica stabile e in crescita
Per anni, Italia e Florida hanno beneficiato di una collaborazione stabile e reciprocamente vantaggiosa. Dal commercio agli investimenti, agli scambi culturali e scientifici, italiani e floridiani hanno intensificato il loro impegno per consolidare i loro legami e la loro collaborazione duratura.
Il mercato interno della Florida conta oltre 21 milioni di residenti (è il terzo stato più popoloso degli Stati Uniti) e, nel corso degli anni, ha attirato l’attenzione di numerose aziende italiane, che hanno presto scoperto i vantaggi di avervi una presenza fisica. La Florida funge infatti da connettore tra il vasto mercato nordamericano e quello di America Latina e i Caraibi (quest’ultimo composto da oltre mezzo miliardo di consumatori). I legami collegamenti commerciali fra Florida e Italia sono inoltre facilitati dalla presenza di infrastrutture all’avanguardia e collegamenti diretti, via mare e via aria, con costi di trasporto accessibili. ITA Airways, ad esempio, offre un volo diretto Roma-Miami, e molte compagnie di navigazione offrono collegamenti tra i principali porti della Florida e dell’Italia. Oltre a questi legami commerciali, l’Italia e la Florida hanno forti legami culturali, turistici e umani. Questi legami contribuiscono a migliorare il reciproco senso di familiarità tra italiani e floridiani.
