Pedro Antonio Sanchez stresses that it is a "pioneer and unprecedented in which accessibility, employment and new opportunities combine" program

In addition, companies that support the Holy Year of Caravaca through sponsorship can benefit from tax incentives, as approved last Friday the Council of Ministers

The Community and the Ministry of Employment and Social Security will implement the social program and employment 'Caravaca accessible', worth two million euros for actions of guidance, training and recruitment of young people enrolled in the program Youth Guarantee and also for long-term unemployed, who will work on improving the Camino de Caravaca de la Cruz to make it more accessible to people with disabilities or reduced mobility.

This was announced by the Minister of Employment and Social Security, Fátima Báñez, which, with President Pedro Antonio Sánchez, visited this town on the occasion of World Tourism Day for All.

The regional chief executive stressed that "we will make Caravaca one visitable city for all, so that anyone can enjoy what it means, their feelings and their heritage."

Pedro Antonio Sanchez said 'Caravaca accessible' "is a pioneering and unprecedented program that accessibility, employment and new opportunities come together" in promoting this destination of religious tourism, which in 2017 celebrates its Jubilee Year, "a cultural event , tourism, social and religious "is expected to reach the figure of two million visitors, surpassing data from the last Jubilee Year in 2010.

The regional government wants to improve the accessibility of 'The Way of Caravaca de la Cruz' to make this town a benchmark of accessible tourism for passengers with reduced mobility or disabled, removing architectural barriers, incorporating visual, acoustic and Braille signage as well as interpretation of sign language, among others.

This program joins other actions implemented to facilitate the promotion of the Jubilee Year, among which is the adoption last Friday by the Council of Ministers of tax incentives for companies that support the Holy Year through the patronage and those who may benefit until 2018.
