After reading the article in contact with the GND and a half, gave us the opportunity to respond, and we did so, and has been published.
on Copy No. 11 December 2008, this same opinion column GND News, Vanesa Sánchez (which we very much appreciate your cooperation), told us that
a " ... group late but entrepreneurs eager Gandía beach decided to try to join our beautiful long beach is distinguished from its seasonal summer and regain all its past splendor.. " If it is true that we have decided to join for this and other goals shared by other associations ... but, we believe that it is never late to fight for change and our only greed is to repair errors that have occurred in the past. It is also true that it was in the past abused the holiday tourism are abusive, outrageous prices for products of all kinds and of poor quality menus and great price. If all this is true. But this a few years ago and has ceased to be. Rents have gone down a bit (not enough for the quality of rooms on offer in many cases), no dealer could charge the prices you mentioned last summer and restaurants have converted their menus have changed from 9 euros to 12 euros at most. (Some restaurants considered category and which was unthinkable offer "Menu", they have done at prices ranging from 25 to 35 euros).
As for the decline in purchasing power of tourism has several explanations. One might be that times have changed and according to serious studies on tourist profiles today the tourist summers in shorter times, looking much more value for money and the beach, due to neglect by the authorities on policies to promote Tourist adapted to these new times, it has been affected by the downturn.
Now "... the loving lower-class families (?!) which are available all year round to eating tuna Squire cum (with right) ... ", are also entitled to vacations. And we must say that the Playa de Gandia, today, it offers hotel facilities and services just to be at the height of the "upper middle and upper classes." We believe that you can marry the two types of tourism without creating "ghettos" (figuratively, of course). What you need to do is improve the structures and services.
The good news: seems that now if the authorities have realized the need for change. From the Tourist Board, through the new semi-private management company "GANDIA PROTUR" and from the same mayor Mr. José Manuel Orengo has conveyed to us that change is necessary and unavoidable . is also true that going to FITUR and solves nothing, or sell anything. But necessary. The true policy of tourism comes from the direct promotion of Gandia and La Safor (joined Valencia capital) as the target level, appealing to much of the northern European market, emerging markets like Asia, etc.
The as we have already encountered and contributed information and ideas.
The when ... that if you depend on them.
But this time, no doubt, be very careful to make it as immediate as possible. To do this we are working from our Association.
Lost hope and illusion are the first steps.
If axin, perduts Uh, not Vanessa?.
