The hull of the cruiser Costa Concordia, which sank on 13 January has become a tourist attraction for many visitors to the Italian port of Santo Stefano.

Italian news agencies reported that the boats anchored in the harbor charge ten euros (about U.S. $ 12) for a tour to island of Giglio, where Costa Concordia sank. It is amazing how someone can make money from suffering and death of 32 people.
Beyond the pain and horrible memories that surround the wreckage, the mayor of Gigio stated that tourism to the island has increased after the accident.

"Tourist come to spend the day, the curious who come to take a picture of the elephant lying on the rocks. Excessive curiosity, which is satisfied with the visit to Giglio, like a museum, "he said quoted by AFP Agency.
Meanwhile, Alessandro Centurioni, an adviser for environmental protection, said "today the ship is part of the landscape, but so altered. And every time I see her, again I feel pain and sadness. "

The project to remove the remains of Concordia has already been approved and is expected to be finisged at the end of spring 2013.
