We refer to tourist services such as those that contribute to the formation of the tourist experience in a destination.
Francisco Jodar said that Lorca has invested heavily in tourism.
And it is a logical bet when you consider the resources that our town.
Few towns have many economic incentives, many different landscapes, many attractions that can be available to the visitor.
Gradually we have to go reaching new goals in tourism that will enable us to consolidate as a landmark destination, since the whole of the municipality will benefit from this bet.
This is why we can not pass bet by SICTED program, which involves stimuli and enhance services to the tourist side.
The focus on tourism can not stay in the field of administration, but the strategy must be comprehensive to ensure that Lorca is a quality destination in every way.
To do all public and private, tourist and non-tourist agents have to walk hand in hand to achieve common goals.
And in this sense, build our tourism identity through SICTED has to be a priority.
Strengthen work begun years ago.
Note that as of May 2011, 27 companies Lorca had joined this project.
It was museums, attractions, restaurants, lodging, shops, tour guides or companies.
As a result of earthquakes and considering the special situation living Lorca, the Ministry of Tourism granted an extension to the town to continue working on the SICTED.
In response to this gesture, the Lorca takes to become a fundamental tool c ara the development of our tourism industry.
To provide a consistent level of quality in the services offered to visitors must be yes or yes a priority if we are to achieve the goals set, because being a quality destination is an added value for both companies and the municipality.
The Mayor stated that the goal we return now and do it with this day of information and awareness from which we will address the benefits that entails adhering to SICTED and the role it will play for the city of Lorca with local stakeholders to join the project.
