Socialists District 9 La Manga claim that "both hotels, SMEs and independent, as tourists and residents, will be increased operating costs, resulting from the introduction of more expensive tolls will travel from any point to La Manga del Mar Minor tourist area of high incidence "

Socialists District 9 La Manga-Rincon de San Ginés complain that the recent threat of payment, also called "repayment" in the transport sector in the form of regional toll highways by the Popular Party government, will be a clear disadvantage for the tourism sector.

"From hotels to SMEs and independent, to tourists and residents, all will be increased operating costs, resulting from the introduction of more expensive tolls will travel from any point to La Manga del Mar Menor, a high incidence area tourism" has indicated the social responsibility area, Salvador Martinez.

According to Martinez said, "we have a wrong decision of the PP government to sink further into the Tourism sector crisis - sun and sand, which is making many efforts to provide quality and better services as the only way to overcome the current crisis and break the dreaded seasonality. "

For socialists, this decision will lead to a clear detrimental to businesses in the area since the introduction of tolls on all regional freeways will entail a substantial increase in final prices of goods and therefore the cost of services offered by the Tourism sector.

This will make it harder still breaking the dreaded seasonality of tourism in the Mar Menor, while entailing a reduction in revenue for municipal coffers as a first reaction to the decreased volume of business and consumer.

For Martinez, "this decision will hurt the families living in the area who have to commute to their jobs in the capital or in any city in the area of ​​Cartagena, and to be paid a higher rate to go to work.

Consequently, we also note that the toll will open the door to the flight of registered in this area of ​​La Manga to other populations close to their workplace, stooping census and thereby decreasing the utility portfolio that local and regional government has offered. "

Finally, the Socialists argue that you can not put tolls without first ensuring a free alternative.
