Ecoparque will present at FITUR 2024 its commitment to gastronomic and experiential tourism

The Arnuero Town Hall will once again focus its tourism promotion efforts by highlighting the projects that will be developed in the municipality as part of the Tourism Sustainability Plan.

This Plan includes around 50 actions that will address the various pillars of the Tourism Sustainability Strategy to move towards a more environmentally responsible development model. To this end, the Green Transition Axis of the PSTD includes the creation of a major green infrastructure network, which will form a network of Centres, footpaths, recreational areas, areas for physical activity and places for contemplation. A total connection with nature, to explore on foot or by bike.

With the actions of the Energy Efficiency Axis, Arnuero is intended to be transformed into a «NEUTRAL DESTINATION», where the major commitment to sustainable mobility stands out. This will play a decisive role in how people move around the municipality, and in controlling the territory’s carrying capacity through an interconnected system of urban and deterrent car parks. This new mobility model will be accompanied by an important process of digitalisation; an axis that will make it possible to improve communication and information for residents and visitors, facilitating access to car parks and services in a controlled manner and minimising overcrowding.

Another commitment to improve leisure activities that help connect visitors with the area will be through gamification: digital gamifying experiences, augmented reality, Escape Rooms and other games based on the story, culture and the local area will keep the public entertained while they learn about authentic things in the municipality.

In the Competitiveness Axis we will tackle a set of actions aimed at complementing our «VITAMIN TERRITORY» with a wider range of experiential leisure, culture, nature and health offerings. Of course, all of it will always be linked to our local products, our traditions and our history.

For this reason, at Fitur 2024 the Town Hall will present the event called “Gastronomic Island: Land of lobster, pepper and wine”. This is a dynamic, interactive event with the public, running through the storyline of a presentation that will discuss the value of Gastronomic Tourism as a lever for rural development, and the strengthening of the primary sector by promoting the development of family farming and livestock rearing, and the preservation of local products with high gastronomic, economic and social value.

Throughout the presentation, a number of well-known characters from the municipality of Arnuero—who are a regular part of the experiences offered to visitors—will interact with the speaker and with the public. Marcial and Josefa “millers”, Juan de Castillo “Universal Architect” and the character of a fisherwoman from Quejo will energise a presentation that will constantly interact with the audience, and through them an introduction will be made to the three local products that will be presented and tasted.
