Cartagena, Thursday, January 31st.

Citizens get the support of the Plenary for the City Council to initiate the appropriate procedures to achieve the accession of Cartagena as a destination to the Sicted (Integral System of Tourist Quality in Destination) to improve the quality of the tourism sector of the municipality.

"The City Council is a key agent in the revitalization of a city, and in Cs we consider that the Sicted is the best public tool to make a leap in quality and differentiate ourselves from the offer offered by the rest of the tourist destinations, even though the PP has blocked this during his years of government, "said the orange spokesman who explains that it is a project promoted for years by the State Secretariat of Tourism (SET) with the support of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) and The municipalities of Murcia, Lorca, Águilas, San Javier, Mazarrón, Puerto Lumbreras and the Commonwealth of Tourist Services of Sierra Espuña are already part of it in the Community.

The motion has been approved unanimously.

Sicted is considered as the best tool to increase tourism competitiveness in Spain.

During the whole process, the entrepreneurs receive support and advice from the Tourism Institute to obtain the badge granted by the Tourism Secretary of State.

At present, the Region has 250 companies and distinguished services.

"Cartagena has some companies and services in the system, but it does not belong as a destination and we believe that it has to join this lever of competitiveness and tourist quality as soon as possible, and we hope to have the support of the rest of the political groups", concludes Manuel Padín .

Finally, Manuel Padin believes that "without doubt, our full inclusion in the Sicted will in turn promote the necessary Tourism Strategic Plan, which has been pending since MC and PSOE entered the Government, a few months to finish the term we continue without a news about this. "

The drafting of this plan is a clamor of the sector for many years, "and as our hoteliers think is that this plan should start from the Port of Cultures, which is where the technical specialists are and who has the capacity to do it", says Padín.
