He A Coruña Tourism and Congress Consortium has held the first professional meeting in Spain after the pandemic, under the title ‘A Coruña Phase’. It has ended with the Radio Coruña Forum dedicated to ‘The Reconstruction of Tourism’. The mayor of A Coruña, Inés Rey, has been there, along with the mayors of Braga, Ricardo Río, and Gijón, Ana González.
The Coruña governor has indicated that the objective now is to reinforce the image of the city as a safe, non-crowded, cultural, gastronomic and even family destination option.
“We have a great cultural offer, a great gastronomic offer due to our proximity to the Atlantic,” said Inés Rey, who underlined that Galicia “is the second preferred national destination, only behind Andalusia.”
In this encounter, Tourism of A Coruña presented its post-pandemic crash plan that includes several surveys of professionals in the sector. It highlights that 27% of tourism companies have already been able to re-establish their activity, 25% of tourism companies will reopen throughout the month of July and 23% will not do so until the end of the year. 2% of those surveyed answered that they do not have the ability to reopen their businesses.
