Councilwoman Andrea Garries Socialist Group said today that poor tourist occupancy data for July offered by the Hotel Occupancy Survey of INE, 2000 reflecting travelers and 1,000 overnight stays compared to July last year confirmed the absence of a clear policy in this area.
Garries argues that the decline of 5.5% in the number of tourists (compared to a national decline of 1.4%) spending a night at hotels in Murcia speaks for itself and shows that the propaganda campaigns of House and Cascales eventually become a smoke.
Garries City government requires to be taken seriously when listening tourism policy proposals from industry and learn the lesson for next summer.
So the PSOE mayor recalled that our town has great potential as a source of employment but you need first is to value our heritage and our infrastructure to make it truly attractive.
The Socialist councilor recalled that the May plenary session, the Socialist Group filed a motion asking the City Council an emergency plan to strengthen tourism in the face of this summer which included a series of urgent measures were not taken into account by the responsible Tourism, Miguel Cascales.
In this sense, Garries insists that it is essential to develop a catalog of existing tourism resources are there to empower the municipality.
In addition, the PSOE councilor says it would be necessary to modify the public transportation routes that leave from the bus station to the beaches so they can make stops at strategic points in the city and so ease of use to tourists staying in the city.
Finally, the socialist mayor insists promote, in cooperation with trade associations, pleasant environments in commercial areas of the city with shady areas, awnings and humidifiers, as well as the establishment of a cultural program for the months of July and August in the town, which in turn serve to promote the local artists.
