A quality tourist expects to use their Credit Cards everywhere. For the standard bread and butter tourist, this Island is full of disgusting litter, a poor TiB Bus service. Rip Off prices , which increase every January etc. Bus Drivers who do not stop for aTourist. Very poor Hotels with grossly inflated STAR RATINGS. An Island that is so saturated with cars, there are not enough roads to carry them. If prices , taxation, Airport Chaos, strikes etc. Is gradually driving tourists elsewhere.
Ladies and Gentlemen. There is an election this coming Sunday. These are only sound bites to impress the undecided voters, not British tourists. Don’t forget she also has trade and industry to worry about as well. Anyway, next week she may be put in charge of agriculture or education or what have you.
Of course the tourist is spending more, prices are always rising. How can you have tourism of quality(whatever that means) when the island has very little of quality to recommend it . Plus if the minister thinks that the Spanish economy is stable then her knowledge is significantly lacking. This is just more verbose garbage.
Can someone please explain what a quality tourist is, could it be someone with a high income or perhaps people with high academic achievements. Looking at most of the accommodation on offer I would think that should they achieve this aim there will be lots of empty beds next season. It’s not too long ago that there was a drive to reduce the number of tourists, having had a taste of this there seems to be a massive drive to entice the tourists back. Be careful what you wish for comes to mind. Articles like this certainly do little to encourage tourism when reported in the British press.
Who does she think she is QUALITY BRITISH TOURIST it’s quantity you need try giving QUALITY HOLIDAYS AND NOT RIPPING PEOPLE OFF when they visit your overpriced dirty hotels that still have 1970 decor and service the majority of the island is filthy clean up your act and you may get somewhere
Thought it was only the UK had “politicians “coming out with phrases designed to confuse. Will she explain please,”modernise the model of tourism” and “tourism of quality “and finally “a quality British tourist”
