| The local consumption incentive campaign will distribute bills worth three euros to make purchases and consume in shops and the local hospitality.

Tickets will be exchanged by citizens at participating establishments | The Mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos and the Deputy Mayor and Councilor for the Economy, Francisco Morales, presented this morning together with the General Director of Commerce and Business Innovation, María José Ros, the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Lorca, Juan Francisco Gómez and the Councilor for Commerce of Puerto Lumbreras, Rocío Martínez, a new initiative to encourage purchases and local consumption consisting of the distribution of tickets worth € 3 to be exchanged in the establishments adhering to the campaign. Diego José Mateos has stressed that "this type of initiative to support commerce and the hotel industry is useless if the rest of the people of Lorca do not do what they have to do, which is to continue being responsible.

The best way to help commerce is to maintain the low levels of contagion that do not require more restrictive measures and that is in the hands of each one of us ". Francisco Morales has indicated that "this is a new initiative that arises to encourage purchases and consumption in Lorca.

We are facing a very important time for commercial and hospitality activity, but also for all citizens.

Going out to make purchases and orders in Lorca or to have a drink, you can be awarded with some original bills worth three euros to consume in establishments throughout the municipality ". María José Ros has stated that "from the General Directorate of Commerce and the Ministry of Enterprise we are very clear that supporting small businesses and local businesses is essential, especially in this time when they are having such a bad time.

There is a commitment very important to increase the economic endowment by more than two and a half million euros within the Strategic Plan for the recovery of retail trade, and initiatives such as the one of today are one of the ways to encourage and boost trade ". The crisis situation that these two sectors are suffering as a result of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, as well as the restrictions and suffering in their businesses in recent weeks, makes collaboration between different administrations necessary to carry out this type of support campaigns and reactivation of local consumption. In this sense, "respecting the hygienic-sanitary measures is essential in order not to go back, but our merchants and hoteliers are safe because they have adapted their businesses to offer maximum security, and that is why it is important to encourage consumption and spread the potential of our business fabric ", said Morales. The Chamber of Commerce has indicated that "throughout the month of December, citizens will be able to obtain € 3 bills and pay for their purchases or drinks as if it were just another bill in their wallet, along with the 10 or 50 euro bills.

amounts will be subsequently offset by the chamber of commerce to participating establishments ". The story behind this original campaign is, figuratively speaking, the creation of the Banco de Lorca and Puerto Lumbreras which, having gone bankrupt due to the current situation, its banker goes crazy and will dedicate itself throughout the month of December to distribute banknotes to the citizens of the municipality.

The schedule to find the banker and get tickets can be followed on the social networks of the Chamber of Commerce of Lorca, where you can also share photos with the banker and exchange tickets, to win an additional € 200.

Tickets can also be collected at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, located in Plaza del Caño. To find out which are the shops and hospitality establishments where you can buy or consume with these tickets, you have to scan the QR that is on the tickets themselves, or enter www.camaralorca.com. The proposal of the Chamber of Commerce of Lorca, together with the support and financing of the General Directorate of Commerce and Business Innovation of the Region of Murcia, the Department of Economy, Industry, Commerce, Crafts and Public Companies of the City of Lorca, and The Department of Commerce of the Puerto Lumbreras City Council, and the collaboration of HOSTELOR and CECLOR, will fight to generate consumer safety, to eliminate certain fear and discomfort when shopping, and above all, to promote local consumption . Finally, the mayor of the Economy has "once again encouraged all Lorca to buy and consume in Lorca, as stated in the" Enjoy in Lorca "campaign, which highlights the role of Lorca as a key element for the economic reactivation of the municipality.

This new campaign joins those already active to promote the positive spirit of sharing lunch and dinner but also gifts and shopping with our loved ones, especially on these lovely dates.

" While he recalled that "neighborhood shops and hotels give life to the city, we need them and they need us.

Let's take care of them by buying and consuming in Lorca and they will compensate you."
