Spending to accumulate in Roquetas de Mar

A RECORD tourism budget of €100,000, is predicted for Roquetas de Mar.

The Association of Tourist Promoters, comprising of hoteliers, the town hall and related services, held its first assembly of 2013 to analyse ways to build the tourist potential of the town.

The meeting is seen as the first step towards a final agreement on the budget, which the association has so far failed to achieve in its two year existence.

But the association hopes it will get agreement for the €100,000 figure.

It claims to have united the public and private tourist sectors of the municipality to the idea of promoting Roquetas as an important destination.

Any funds raised will be spent promoting the town in other Spanish cities, including Granada and Madrid.

The association also hopes to enter the international market by promoting Roquetas at major tour fairs and meeting with tour operators and travel agencies from various countries.
