- For Manuel Padín, "launch the Cartagena brand is to combat the invisibility to which the PP submits us in the world, national and international tourism markets know us, but refuse, prefer to continue hiding, I hope that from may 2019 not be able to continue doing so. "

Cartagena, Tuesday October 30-.

After meeting Citizens that the Government of Cartagena is planning to shortly the tender the contract for the drafting of a master plan that defines the steps to follow to create a tourism brand of the coast of Cartagena, the spokesman of the orange training, Manuel Padín , has warned that it will be necessary to count on the collaboration of the Community, "we like the proposal but must join the Ministry of Tourism, otherwise there will be chaos and disorganization of our promotional projection."

The motion has not gone ahead, to have the abstention of Podemos and PSOE and the vote against the PP.

The mayor of the PP, Carolina Palazón, has described the motion of the orange formation as something "poor" and has justified his vote against remembering that the only valid mark for the coast of Cartagena is 'Costa Cálida'.

In his turn of reply, Manuel Padín, explained that Ciudadanos precisely sought coordination with the regional promotion and economic support of the Community, "the only poor here are the desire of the regional government of the PP to help the coast of Cartagena and that work on a distinctive image that attracts tourism and the generation of employment and wealth, as other coastal municipalities in Spain have achieved ".

In addition, according to the spokesman, the area of ​​Cartagena have so many and so diverse enclaves and elements of tourist attraction that it really deserves to work in a parallel, specific and harmonious promotion.

For Manuel Padín, "launch the Cartagena brand is to combat the invisibility to which the PP submits us in the world, national and international tourism markets know us, but refuse, prefer to continue hiding, I hope that from May of 2019 are not able to continue doing so ".

"Every time we bring a motion in which we request the economic collaboration of the Community for the promotion of Cartagena, the local PP obeys guidelines and prevents it," laments Manuel Padin, who says that "the popular councilors are not doing him any favors to the commerce and to the tourism of Cartagena when defending first the interests of its party that those of their municipality ".

"Since 2015, Cartagena has been condemned to not having the slightest coordination between the institutions and we continue to do so, and that has meant that the tourism market despite the increase in visits has not taken off for trade," says Manuel Padin who remembers Citizens was the one who rescued the Tourism Advisory Council, after 31 years inactive thanks to the PP, but to date it has not been implemented nor have the statutes been updated, as was promised almost a year ago, the November 10, 2017 in its only operative session;

This would have been the perfect environment to discuss our entire promotion strategy. "

Finally, Manuel Padín regretted that "more three years later and six months before the end of the legislature we still have no news about the necessary strategic plan announced by the PSOE in 2015 to lay the foundations of this sector, and now only we have a minor contract to design a plan for the brand Cartagena de Cartagena without the repaldo of the Autonomous Community, sad balance of bipartisanship.
