Councilman Tourism San Javier, Antonio Zapata, announced last plenary that the government team was working to attract tourists from northern Europe to San Javier during the winter season.
According to Mr. Zapata the needs of these tourists are very specific, since most have a physical disability due to an operation or illness and require a very specific services.
UPyD supports this initiative of the municipal government, as it helps eliminate the seasonality of tourism and attracts tourists with a medium-high purchasing power.
However, since we would like to note that UPyD to attract these tourists who speak well of the area, and also again, we must provide an environment care and additional tourist services.
Unfortunately, this is not the case in San Javier.
The area of ​​the mud of Mar Menor is in a sorry state: the wooden walkways that lead to ponds and dirty mud on the banks of ponds can be seen plastic bottles, cans, rubbish and mud .
Ponds invite everything except throw the mud.
Rare is the ride the windmill palm that is not "decorated" with dog droppings and the edge of the Playa de la Mota is full of jellyfish.
El Molino Quentin, symbol of the people, it is not much better: the roof and the wooden wheel is broken, needs a new liming, to fix the blades and cleaning the surrounding area.
The municipality and the whole region of the Mar Menor need to attract tourists outside the summer season, but be aware that these tourists are very demanding and looking for a caring environment, clean and attractive and other offers and services.
When are you going to realize the government team that the sun and the beach is not enough?
From UPyD propose that Quentin Mill restoration is done through the school workshop Youth House and the current government team take the political affinity with the regional government to ask who cares to clean and maintain in good condition the area of ​​the sludge.
We also urge the Hon.
City Council to clean the beaches and provide basic infrastructure from September to May, as these tourists do bathe in the Mar Menor in the fall and spring.
You can also arrange tours and tailored to groups of tourists in winter by the Salinas Regional Park.
This service does not have to mean an expense to the municipal coffers, as it can establish a training agreement with the University of Murcia for students of tourism or to contact local and regional partnerships.
In UPyD believe it is necessary to boost tourism throughout the year to revive the local economy.
But you have to do this effectively, organized and friendly environment, taking full advantage of the many resources that have the Mar Menor and making a difference to other destinations.
Of no use advertising campaigns and, if that is the tourist is not what sells in the brochure.
