The Department of Tourism of the City of Mazarron, through the Municipal Tourist Office, has conducted an initial review of the tourist occupation during the first half of summer has yielded positive compared to the current crisis to be endured.
In this sense, hotel occupancy during the first half of August is around 90% and in some cases it reaches 100% seat occupancy.
Also, note that employment in the month of July was "pretty good" during the weekend, according to employers, through the activities that the City Council were scheduled this month as food during the University of the Sea - Campus Mare Nostrum, the Race Night "For Life" or the short story contest "Villa de Mazarron - Mowing Antonio del Olmo".
This has led to "save" the month of July, when the weekday occupancy was around 60%.
Another positive aspect is that this summer camp has almost entirely occupied their land.
In part because prices are more affordable and is still a lot of people who, for the first time, has been launched to have this kind of tourism.
Entrepreneurs hope to finish the month with the same occupation they have at the moment, while reservations from August 15 are lower than in previous years.
From the Tourist Office have also stressed that, although no data have been counted the number of users from the municipal tourist information, there has been an increased presence of foreigners among the predominantly French nationals attracted, surely, by the fall in the prices of some accommodations or the freezing of those prices over the past three years.
The Mayor of Mazarron, Ginés Campillo, explained that "as much as possible to extend the summer season are scheduled in September with various activities to celebrate the 440 anniversary of granting the privilege of Villa. These include a gastronomic, a football tournament between veterans and the sailing regatta cruiser class town of Mazarron end of the month, that ensure the presence of tourists in the town despite the delicate economic times we live.
