The mayor of Cartagena, Jose Lopez, badly again left Cartagena, this time in Fitur, "on the fly trying to force the presentation of the" Year of Modernism "of Cartagena, a proposal that was not planned and is completely devoid of content because they have not yet planned actions or materials have been developed, "he said the Municipal People's Party spokesman, Francisco Espejo.
"Cartagena was to Fitur with a logo and with the announcement that they will organize activities, it was not closed to introduce professional tourism product. That is nonsense. A city like Cartagena can not be in a trade major world tourism flagship product selling like an offer that consists only of a logo, "said Mirror this morning in an appearance before the media, accompanied by the popular council, Palazón Carolina.
As you may recall, the decision to declare 2016 as the Year of Modernism was announced just five days before Fitur.
Friday was approved by the Governing Board and assume that on Monday, that is, three days before Fitur, a committee to see what is done in this commemoration was meeting.
The spokesman pointed out that companies and entities will have spent months preparing Fitur supply, have closed products have publications, event calendars and schedules.
"Our government has gone to Fitur only with paper and pen logo exposure on Gran Hotel, an exhibition that was already scheduled because we are in the centenary of its construction."
Mirror wondered "where pamphlets were Modernism year Fitur? Where was the schedule of events? Where are the publications? Nothing done. Lopez went to Madrid to say tourism professionals" come see modernism and arrange something. "This is unseemly."
After the conflict happened yesterday in Fitur, the Municipal People's Party has asked the Ministry of Tourism and we have confirmed that "in November a letter was sent to all municipalities asking to report whether they had any initiative that would arise. However, Cartagena did not ask anything. With requests from other municipalities the program of activities to be presented to the press on January 15 "was made.
The popular spokesman considers the most unfortunate of all this "is not that we again become clear in Madrid, because of this we are already accustomed, worst of all this is that it confirms that this government does not deal with rigor and seriousness of Cartagena Tourism. Tourism is a vital industry for Cartagena that has been growing in recent years and few sites that has worked with sound proposals. You can not improvise, you can not reach an occurrence on Fitur the march even a week before. "
Modernism is a good tourist element, so it has always been part of tourism in popular governments and therefore for the people's governments have worked in the full recovery or a hundred façades of buildings.
"That's part of the inheritance of both the current government complains, but then takes Fitur" has completed Francisco Espejo.
