Volkswagen folks arrive in Motril

GERMAN car company Volkswagen has chosen Motril’s Robinson Hotel in Playa Granada to stay during the celebration of the ‘World Dealer Congress’.
The event will take place in different corners of Granada and the company will unveil two new car models to international distributors.
Acting Mayor of the Town, Luisa Garcia Chamorro, explained that until the end of the month, Motril will receive 6,000 people from 82 different countries, and said: “This event will translate into priceless tourism advertising, making our destination internationally known and generating a total of 400 direct and indirect job positions in the whole of Granada Province.”
The manufacturing company will present two vehicles: the new editions of the Caddy and Transporter cars, which will be drive-tested along the Sierra Nevada road and the business park of Alhendin, and other routes across the Costa Tropical.
Head of the marketing department at Volkswagen, Stefan Pfeiffer, said that another 300 vehicles had been taken by the company to Granada and a 400-member team had been brought to the province to work on the project. He took the opportunity to thank the town council and the Guardia Civil police force for their support and efforts to ensure that the event goes according to plan.
Granada airport is expecting to receive an average of 250 guests to the event daily, who will be taken by bus to the Robinson Hotel in Playa Granada, which has been booked in its entirety for the occasion.
“We expect this big-scale event to make Motril and the Costa Tropical known amongst the sector media,” said the mayor, who thanked Volkswagen for choosing the town for such a prestigious event.
