Mojacar Gets Back European Cycling Tourism for the Winter Season

Following the great interest aroused by Mojácar at the FITUR 2023 Madrid International Tourism Fair, and attending to the numerous commitments planned throughout the days of the fair, Mojácar Council Tourism Councillor, Emmanuel Agüero, and Carmen García Campoy, Director of the Council’s Tourism Department, travelled to Belgium to attend one of Europe’s most important fairs dedicated to cycling tourism, which is held in the country.

At the fair Mojácar again this year offered the destination from a specific exhibition area within the segment of cycling destinations for enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals in the sport.

Emmanuel Agüero and Carmen García Campoy met again with numerous Belgian, national and international clients and companies related to the sector, many of whom had already been to Mojácar before the pandemic and who maintain professional relations with the locality, who enquired about the dates and hotels available with the intention of re-establishing the trips and tourism packages interrupted by the pandemic.

As a result of these contacts, professional relations are reopened and for next winter the support of this sector in the local council’s plans for breaking seasonality and offering tourism and economic stability throughout the year could be a reality.

Mojácar has hotel facilities specialised in this tourism sector and professionally trained agents for the revival with guarantees of sports tourism. Thanks to its climate, its facilities, its landscape and its business people, it is, without doubt, a consolidated cycling destination in Europe.

The Tourism Councillor expressed his satisfaction at the recovery of the presence of this sector for Mojácar, as the return of cycling groups from Belgium is a reality that will again offer an important boost to the locality’s tourism sector.

          Mojácar, at FITUR 2023 along with the rest of Almería province, aroused great interest at this edition; professionals, and especially numerous members of the public, gathered at the stand. The Madrid market is one of the most dynamic and loyal, attracted not only by the sun and beach product, but also the residential, sports and cultural offer.
