- The Orange Training will seek the support of the whole Corporation to urge the Governing Council of the Region of Murcia, through the Regional Assembly, to study and take into account the development of a Multi-Year Plan Eurovelo, to coordinate the necessary investments to develop the network of bike lanes necessary to include Cartagena in this project.
Cartagena, Thursday, September 14.
The Municipal Group of Citizens will request at the next plenary meeting to join Cartagena in the Eurovelo 8 project of the European Union (EU).
This route, which links Athens and Cadiz across almost 6,000 kilometers, is part of the official network of bicycle tourism that travels across the EU, promoting high-quality, healthy and sustainable tourism.
The Orange Formation will seek the support of the whole Corporation to urge the Governing Council of the Region of Murcia, through the Regional Assembly, to study and take into account the development of a budget-financed Eurovelo Multi-Year Plan coordinate the necessary investments to develop the necessary bicycle lanes and adapted to the requirements of the Eurovelo organization so that this initiative can be carried out in Cartagena and in all the municipalities of the coast of the Mar Menor, with the participation of entrepreneurs and sectors involved.
Citizens will also demand that the City Council collaborate with the development of this Plan and commit to bet on sport and nature as seasonal elements of tourism, and its support to cycling tourism as a product to achieve a sustainable holiday model.
The European network of cycle routes is composed of 15 long distance routes that cross the entire European continent.
Of the 70,000 km of route, there are more than 40,000 in service and the goal is to be fully available in 2020. Route 8 is the one that affects Cartagena, has its route throughout the Mediterranean from Athens to Cadiz, this route is only certified in Spain in the province of Gerona, being the case of the Region of Murcia especially relevant in the forgetfulness and abandonment of this initiative.
In addition, because only the route between Murcia and Caravaca de la Cruz meets cycling requirements, it has been incorporated as the main branch of Eurovelo as it passes through our Region, leaving the coastal layout forgotten and without effect.
The Citizens spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has reported that this initiative "has already been successfully presented in the municipal plenary sessions of San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar, and Cartagena should not miss this unique opportunity to bet on this proposal of green economy that entails the opportunity to raise European and regional funds. "
"The cyclist is a consumer who spends more, who stops many times in his route and visits small establishments. Our regional government and our City Council have to understand that cycling is a key element to deal with seasonal tourism and economic, create jobs and improve the economic muscle of many councils and rural areas, "said the spokesman for Cs Cartagena.
On the other hand, the spokesman of the orange formation recalled that the coastal towns of the Mar Menor have suffered this summer a difficult tourist situation and has set as an example the stagnation and the low percentage of hotel occupancy in Cartagena, in a national context of increase .
This situation has undoubtedly been marked by the negative image generated by the environmental crisis suffered by the Mar Menor and its region, "at this moment, with the economic and environmental situation that crosses the Mar Menor, we can not remain impassive before a opportunity such as capturing European bicycle tourism, "said Manuel Padín.
