Highlight that this year the privileged position that had been achieved with great effort in the last four years, together with Cehegín, Calasparra and Moratalla, has been escaped from having its own stand from which to promote the Northwest Region and all its charms.
'United, we can offer many more possibilities so that tourists are not just mere day visitors and offer them weekend packages so they can sleep and tourism has an impact on the economy of the municipality and leave money in shops, restaurants and accommodation of the city ', said the head of the Tourism Department of the Municipal Socialist Group, Gloria Gómez.
'Going with your own stand in recent years, has not been at any time with the intention of unchecking the Region of Murcia, but to complement.
In this way, we had a physical presence the five days of the Fair and at all times', the Socialist mayor continued.
The regional participation in FITUR has always been with a common project and an extensive program of presentations, tastings, activities and an elaborate meeting agenda, with the firm intention of working for tourism in Caravaca de la Cruz.
Gloria Gómez has detailed aspects that have seemed curious in this new edition of the Fair.
On the one hand, the presentations carried out by the different Town Halls of the Region, have been made in an isolated room that does not fit more than 20/25 people and not on the main stage of the stand, where everyone who passes over there you can browse and stay listening.
This was the presentation of the Candidature of the Wine Horses to Intangible Heritage of Humanity, hidden.
And the only media that came were the locals.
"Many municipalities have complained about this occultism," said the Socialist councilor.
As for the counter brochures, they were organized by themes: cultural, nature, diving, wine tourism, religious, sun and beach and Cartagena.
Only municipality that has an individual section to place all its brochures.
The brochures that had of Caravaca were placed in the section of Religious Tourism, because it seems that for Murcia the only thing that exists in Caravaca de la Cruz is the Jubilee Year.
'Gentlemen of the municipal government, I don't understand how you can consent to being pigeonholed in this way.
Why was not our cultural offer, which is very wide?
Why was not our offer of nature and archeology that is unique?
Why do you accept that the AC of the Region of Murcia only wants to use Caravaca de la Cruz for what they are interested in, which is to fill the hotels of Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca and pilgrimage one morning to Caravaca de la Cruz to return Immediately to those cities in the region and spend there and not in our municipality?
I honestly do not understand anything, 'said the former Councilor for Tourism, Gloria Gomez.
As for the central act of the stand of the Region of Murcia: "Cartagena, Eternal Heritage", was a tease, since a file was sold, which has not even been submitted to Unesco, to name Cartagena, Heritage City of The humanity.
The President of the Region of Murcia sold smoke.
'It is incredible that this is the year in which the candidacy presented by Spain to Unesco, are the Wine Horses, the regional government sells as the central axis in FITUR, a file that has not even begun to be elaborated.
The Mayor of Caravaca de la Cruz, José Francisco García, knows it well and has recognized me directly that this has been a huge blunder of López Miras', highlighted the Socialist mayor.
'Something has happened this year at FITUR, the deal has not been what they expected.
The councilor for tourism, José Carlos Gómez, recognized me as soon as he saw me on Thursday, who now understood why we were organizing a stand of the Region.
Although of course, this will not be recognized publicly, 'Ms. Gómez has continued.
Finally, highlight the two presentations held at the Turespaña stand.
These presentations have had a good impact and it is not easy to present at this stand of the Ministry of Tourism.
To thank the Secretary of State for Tourism, Isabel María Oliver, for her involvement in the presentation of these presentations and the Deputy Director General of Tourism Development and Sustainability, Ignacio Angulo, as well as the President of Castilla la Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, for his interventions in the presentation of the Way of Vera Cruz.
