Union Progress and Democracy (UPyD) of La Union urges the council to work "immediately" a strategic plan that takes advantage of cruise tourism that occurs in the region of Cartagena, since the Union is not taking advantage of this tourism at present, due to the "neglect of the Consistory and lack of foresight."
In this sense, the formation magenta notes that despite not being in the institutions, "have been meeting with industry professionals directly involved in the port of Cartagena" which have expressed tourists disembarking in the port city, " they will visit other parts of the region, since after going to several tour operators in town, they encounter many architectural barriers and disdain and reluctance of the City. "
In this context, UPyD The Union affects economic data that leave the cruise in the region, with over 135,000 arrivals in Cartagena, in the 109 cruise last year.
"This tourist middle-aged, middle / high purchasing power, only a small percentage came to La Union".
"It is regrettable and denotes a lack of foresight, that these tourists have to go to other parts of the region or other regions to see, for example, a tablao or listen to flamenco".
For this reason, UPyD The Union proposes two specific to the City "to start working fully in the implementation of a tourism model in town" measures.
On the one hand, set meetings with international tour operators working with cruise ships arriving at the port of Cartagena, and secondly, the development of an impact study of the different architectural barriers, in this case, in the sights of La Union.
