Councilors of Cambiemos Murcia and the Municipal Socialist Group today set up an "improvised" tourist office in front of the information facilities of the Town Hall in Plaza Cardenal Belluga to protest the "incomprehensible" closure of two of the three offices of the City Council "in midsummer".

Nacho Tornel, for Cambiemos Murcia, and Susana Hernández and Juan Vicente Larrosa, for the PSOE, who have distributed lemons and cake to tourists, have said that the closure is due to the Government team has not anticipated the award Of a new contract for the management of this office, since the one in force with the company ESATUR ended on July 31, as the Floridablanca Garden, where another office is located, is closed.

For both municipal groups, this "precarious" management of the tourist information resources of the municipality, which extends to other spaces such as the Visitor Center of La Luz and San Antonio El Pobre, contrasts with the "showcase policy and events The Mayor of Ballesta, who on July 26 was announcing a 2017-2020 Operational Plan for Tourism Development, while four days later, the most important offices closed. "

"In the only available, that of the Gran Vía, open to the public from 4:30 pm, only deliver a map of the city and a folio with the schedule of museums, which in most cases Is morning, "have explained.

The councilors have emphasized that the museum staff is qualified and has sufficient documentation to make these facilities act as tourist information points for the city.

"Councilman Pacheco instead of alluding to hotels should manage their council and promote museums," they added.

In addition, both Cambiemos Murcia and PSOE have said that if the Floridablanca Garden remains closed, it would be "common sense for the staff of this information point to be transferred to Belluga's office."

In any case, "a clear effort is needed to provide the tourism service with human resources and improve the working conditions of the staff," they concluded.
