Another Qualitur achievement in Costa Blanca

This year, 40 municipalities in the Valencian Community received Qualitur marks, which grant recognition to high-quality regions.

Alongside Benidorm, Altea received its “Q” quality mark in the beginning of June. The mayor of Altea, Diego Zaragozi and the Councilor of Tourism, Nuria Montes de Diego hosted the representatives of the 40 awarded towns, raising the Qualitur flag in Altea.

Zaragozi expressed his gratitude for the award in a speech, using a passing beach tractor as an example; “These are the ones who win the Q of Qualitur, (…) and the rescuers and the people who do the administrative management to make all this possible.”

The host of three Blue Flags alongside the Qualitur, Montes, highlighted Altea´s achievements; “These flags are not obtained without a lot of work and in the end what they give is support for a great effort to improve tourism,” said Montes, noting; “The passion for tourism is what unites us and I think that with this work, we demonstrate today how to combat the false message of tourism phobia (…) that does not exist.”

She added with gratitude; “We have many icons of Valencian tourism and Altea is undoubtedly one of them, representing the Mediterranean spirit.”
