Orihuela will be making its presence felt at next week’s World Travel Market fair in London, with the mayor Emilio Bascuñana, and tourism councillor Sofía Álvarez going to the UK capital. Álvarez said that the trip was being made at no cost to the municipality as it was being funded by the regional government, and that she and the mayor will be promoting the area at an exhibition stand organised by the Alicante Provincial Council.
The councillor said that golfing holidays would be one of the key areas they will be looking to promote along with the historical events like the Moors and Christian festival in Orihuela City, and that a number of meetings have already been arranged with Scandinavian tour operators in London.
