Leoncio Collado socialist councilor today deplored the absence of Lorca in INTUR 2009, domestic tourism fair in Spain and more important that developed recently in Valladolid with an influx of more than 250,000 visitors.
Collado said that while municipalities like Eagles did a great show "to promote its range of tourism, the mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, was engaged to be photographed petting cats, and both he and Councillor for Tourism, Francisco Montiel," missed the opportunity to work for real by the local sector. "
In this sense, the socialist mayor said that Lorca does not deserve its tourism is diluted in the stand of the Region of Murcia and called it "irresponsible" to Jódar and Montiel is "let go" by sending a few boxes of pamphlets to "cover record."
Therefore, Collins demanded that from the Department of Tourism to establish a professional team that is responsible for this task because "has excellent and experienced technicians in this matter."
Also called involving employers in the sector in these promotional activities to Lorca recovered the "cached" has always had this type of event.
In this line requested that the City recovers its partnership agreement with the Association of Rural Tourism of Lorca, to give them "tools" that enable the development of promotional and training to improve the tourist and broadcast nationally.
The socialist council says it is sad to see how this year Lorca was left out of major national rural tourism fairs as AGROTUR (Barcelona), Ferantur (Sevilla), Earth in (Jaén), EXPOTURAL (Madrid) or Tural.com ( Alicante).
He recalled that in addition to the thousands of visitors who come to them, these samples are set up as an excellent framework for contact with wholesalers, operators and media from other regions.
In that sense, Collado said the "poor" work developed by the Department of Tourism has the consequence that Lorca has dropped the number of visitors and that the name of the municipality no longer sound like in the sector.
Therefore, Collado asked to reactivate the tourist promotion of the municipality or "we'll be swept by the tsunami of Caravaca Jubilee or the big bet they are doing in this area municipalities of Calasparra, Jumilla and San Javier.
