Cartagena Puerto de Culturas has received 391,130 visitors from January to October 2016, an increase of 18.41% compared to the same period in 2015, when 330,329 visitors visited its interpretation centers.
"Cartagena consolidates month by month as a center of tourist attraction.
The opening of new routes, such as the main buildings of the Polytechnic University, will help consolidate this trend.
The greater the number of visitors received by our interpretation centers, the greater the benefit for our hoteliers and merchants and, therefore, for the whole city, "said Ana Belén Castejón, Vice Mayor and President of Cartagena Puerto de Culturas.
The most visited centers are The Roman Theater, the Panoramic Lift and the Castle of Concepcion, while the ones that have increased the most visitors are the Augusteum, the Punic Wall, the Tourist Bus and the Museum of the Civil War.
The second phase of the Barrio del Foro Romano will be finished shortly, which we are sure will become a new jewel of Cartagena's cultural heritage, Castejón said.
The number of visitors at the regional level has increased, from 10% in 2015 to 17% in 2016. We want Cartagena to be known throughout the Region.
We have a lot to offer and our neighbors have many opportunities to visit our interpretation centers.
It is one of the objectives that we have proposed and we are fulfilling it with actions like our participation in Gastronomic Murcia, although we are not satisfied, we want to go more, emphasized Ana Belén Castejón.
With regard to national visitors;
30% come from Madrid, 22% from Valencia;
18% of Andalusia;
6% of Catalonia;
6% of Castile and 18% of the rest of Spain.
Our commitment to national tourism is firm and, precisely for this reason, we have started the campaign for tourism in the centers of El Corte Inglés in Madrid, Valencia and Andalusia, which are the places of origin of most of our visitors.
In addition, we will try to increase the percentage of Catalonia with a next visit to Barcelona, ​​said the deputy mayor.
As for tourists coming from outside Spain, the English are the most visited by us, with 34% of the total coming from the United Kingdom, followed by the Americans, who constitute 17%, and the French with 11% .
