- "We are in the middle of the legislature and we have not seen that this government has a defined project nor a marked line of action, only the inertia and the income that the attractiveness of our land offers, but the decisions of This government are short-term, improvised, and poorly coordinated, "said the Councilor for Citizens

The Tourism Advisory Council of Cartagena has met today for the first time since its creation and statutes were approved 31 years ago.

The call was attended by representatives of COEC, Chamber of Commerce, Hostecar, travel agencies and campsites, among others.

This is followed by the motion that presented Citizens in the municipal plenary in March and was unanimously tested.

They have had to disappear the absolute majorities and arrive at a political force resolutive and with the capacity to generate consensuses so that, after more than three decades, this consultative organ is summoned that for the mayor of the orange formation, Ana Rama, "is the most So that political groups, social agents and business people can analyze the suitability of the policies being carried out, propose initiatives in tourism and design a strategic plan, a clear road map that sets the path for the next Years rule whoever governs. "

For the Councilor of Citizens, "Cartagena is a municipal term with a strong tourist vocation, and requires a tourist plan that in the short, medium and long term establish priorities, deadlines and what exactly will be the actions with budgetary appropriation that are going to To undertake in this area ".

"We are in the middle of the legislature and we have not seen that this government has a defined project nor a marked line of action, only the inertia and the income that the attractiveness of our land offers has been lived, but the decisions of this Government are short-term, improvised, and poorly coordinated since one of the problems we have detected is that this government, unable to agree on so many issues, develops heritage policy and tourism separately, "said the councilor Asks "how is it possible, for example, that an organization that tries to value Cartagena's heritage as Cartagena Port of Cultures is not sitting on the Patrimony Advisory Council, chaired and constituted at your own risk by the councilman Citizen Movement, Ricardo Segado ".

Rama says it has been "this lack of coordination that has forced the Citizens' Group to rescue this Advisory Council from oblivion."

The council has regretted after the meeting the lack of willingness of the Government of Cartagena to implement the proposals on tourism have been presented in the plenary sessions and has set as an example the motion of Citizens for the inclusion of Our Lady of Remedies in The European Route of the Cemeteries, "a graveyard of great historical, cultural and artistic importance and one of the highest exponents of our funerary heritage".

Neither other initiatives that the Citizens' Group has presented to boost the western area have been carried out, such as the one proposed in July 2016 for the City Council to take over the management of Torre Santa Elena in La Azohía and to incorporate this asset into the Tourist supply of the municipality of Cartagena, to seasonalise its use and enjoyment and guarantee the care and conservation of this military building of the XIV century.
