The Socialists claim to the PP government team at City Hall the need to develop a new model of tourism, as poor performance in hotel occupancy this summer a new approach is essential to diversify and make attractive tourism
The mayor Maria Antonia Garcia said that "it is urgent that publicitemos otherwise our city, and because we can not only maintain a political season, we value the possibility of other forms and types of tourism."
We have learned that hotel occupancy in summer in Lorca has only reached 56%.
This makes it necessary to explore other paths that complement existing ones.
"It is outrageous that a city so close to the coastline is as low occupancy rate in summer, the only three-star hotel, Hotel Alameda, has recently closed, that the shelters are less than about 30% occupancy, Hotels in the city half of its occupation and only the houses are above 50%. Also, how is it possible that in two days have arrived at the port of Cartagena 7,700 cruise passengers, and have not entered into any visit Lorca? ".
Garcia Jimenez believes that the current tourism approach, according to the results, is "exhausted".
"A new impetus is needed in this sector," says the socialist mayor, noting that since the PSOE bet for a consensus between the political groups and the sectors involved (hoteliers, restaurateurs, business associations, cultural etc.), to renew the model tourist, whose exploitation is not only seasonal, but throughout the year.
Maria Antonia Garcia added that one of the possible options, with excellent results in other cities, would also apply for conference tourism or professional.
An offer to allow a diversification of tourism, which will result in a financial benefit to all related companies and professionals related conference services;
It would also be a wonderful opportunity to achieve promotion in a positive charge, leaving the burden of Lorca as a city known for its disasters.
This city has sufficient infrastructure to promptly explore and exploit this and other forms of tourism.
