The first day of Fitur, the International Tourism Fair held until Sunday in Madrid, has left a bad taste to the Dianense delegation and especially the mayor, Vicent Grimalt, who was visiting the fair for the first time.
According says the mayor, the first impression was "disappointing", since the situation of Dénia goes unnoticed among the conglomerate of populations of the Costa Blanca. The standOf 180 square meters, it offers a large desk in all towns in the province attending the fair without differentiation between them lie.
That is why the mayor and tourism councilor considers that it is necessary to pull the strings right now so that this situation changes and both Dénia and the Marina Alta have the visibility that the product offered deserves. Grimalt will meet with Francesc Colomer, Regional Secretary of Tourism, to propose that the Marina Alta have greater visibility on Fitur from now on.
Bet Vicent Grimalt is that the region is one to attend Fitur, because it believes it would be hazardous, but this needs to talk to the municipalities involved, as well as the Provincial Council of Alicante, since that would mean rethinking expenses city in this important tourist event.
Today, Thursday, is important for Dénia, since a press conference will be held at 14:00 p.m. with the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, to explain the gastronomic project of the city. In addition, the business representation that has moved to the fair continues its usual rounds of contacts at this event.
