Alcala de Xivert-Alcossebre Council Tourism Department will start the process to obtain the seal which will certify the municipality as a family tourist destination, awarded by the Spanish Large Family Federation (FEFN)
Alejandra Roca is the local Tourism councillor and attended this year’s FITUR in Madrid which came to a close on Sunday, 24th January. Whilst there she had a meeting with the chairman of the FEFN, Eva Holgado, who is responsible for managing the Family Tourism seal.
Alejandra Roca pointed out that “it was a very positive meeting; it is important to join this sort of network, with more than 46,000 very active members”. The municipality is now starting the process to obtain the seal and “we hope to have it within a couple of months. Then it will be the local businesses which start to activate it”, she said.
On this subject, the Alcala de Xivert-Alcossebre mayor, Francisco Juan Mars, said that “it is important to join this type of group, and it is the style of quality tourism we are looking for, we offer tranquillity and activities for the whole family”.
Family Tourism is one of the FEFN’s lines of work. They have created the Seal of Family Tourism to distinguish and promote the establishments and tourist destinations which specialise in families. It includes guaranteeing hotels, cultural centres, restaurants, tourist locations, etc., which have facilities, activities, surroundings, etc. suitable for families.
The aim is to offer a service for families helping them find and identify the best places to enjoy their leisure and free time with their children. So that when a family sees the “Family Tourism” logo, they will know that this is a suitable place ready for families with children. At the same time, it increases families’ choices of tourist destination by promoting the specialisation and competition among the business sector dedicated to families; it favours the best family tourism facility and an improved position of quality-price.
