The councilman of Cambiemos Murcia Nacho Tornel has said that precisely because of the data offered today by the head of Tourism, Jesus Pacheco, about the increase in tourism in the municipality compared to 2017, "it does not make sense that the Office of the Plaza del Cardenal Belluga Has remained closed for more than 20 days in a month as August. "

According to Tornel, the figures confirm that "the problem is greater", because, on the one hand, it is confirmed that Murcia receives more visitors "despite the lack of competence of the municipal government" and, secondly, because those tourists, with The Office of Reference closed, "hardly can take a good image of the policies of this City Council." The mayor of the municipal training has also made reference to much of Pacheco's speech to praise the data of tourism focuses on the related With congresses.

In this regard, he recalled that the Congress Office, which involves companies in the private sector, takes more than 200,000 euros a year of public funds. They also receive money from the City Council, with the allegation that they help promote tourism , Private entities of festive character.

"To that end, we act diligently, to give money and to report benefits to private entities, but not to keep the Tourism Office open and with sufficient staff," Tornel said.

In its view, the basic problem goes beyond the closure of the Office and the "detriment" caused to visitors, and has to do with staff management by the Government team in museums, interpretation centers or libraries , Focused on the outsourcing of services "during the last 20 years of government of the PP." A policy "has come to an end" and has favored the reduction of own staff and dependence on external companies despite The Consistory has "more than enough" capacity to be able to nurture services such as the Tourist Office with own staff of the City.
