The campaign, which consists of different phases and actions, is already advanced because, if there are no setbacks in the de-escalation, it would begin in the month of June within the Region of Murcia itself to spread, when security circumstances allow it, to other communities. The campaign, in addition to highlighting the attractions of the destination, will be accompanied by another series of concrete actions based on experiential tourism, with defined tourist packages to spend the night in the municipality and a program of activities both in museums and in sites and natural routes.

From the Tourism area, the value enhancement project 'Historical roads of Caravaca' has also been prepared, which affects nearby and inter-urban sections to promote nature and pilgrimage tourism and which is also a resource for sport and recreation of the caravaqueños themselves. "Another initiative is the creation of a unique passport to enjoy the network of the Museum Network.
The first 300 cards will be delivered to tourist establishments so that they can offer it and give it to the first customers as an incentive with the hotel night ", explained José Carlos Gómez, who pointed out that the measures adapted to the situation caused by the COVID-19 crisis will also be integrated into the Tourism Master Plan, which will define the strategy for the next five years with a clear and defined route.
