Specifically, a complete profile of this tourist will be developed that will be offered to innkeepers and merchants so that they know their demands, what they are looking for and how to be able to make their stay in Cartagena more satisfactory, as well as increase their expense by finding products that are appropriate to their needs .

Thus, in addition to a more intense promotional work to raise awareness of the rich natural heritage of the Cabo de Palos-Islas Hormigas reserve and attract more visitors, we want to combine with an alternative offer for these travelers with other experiences, such as Gastronomic or those related to the visit and stay in Cartagena to know its heritage.
