Since Easter, Benissa has begun to notice an increase in visitors who dedicate themselves to organizing parties in rural houses, chalets or tourist apartments. Although the Benisser consistory points out that it is not as serious a problem as in other destinations with greater influx, it has begun to emerge in recent months. Something that has resulted in great concern for the Department of Tourism of the City Council, the Local Police and the Civil Guard.
The concerns focus, above all, on the inconvenience towards the neighbors that these celebrations carry until the wee hours of the morning and towards the owners of the businesses due to the possible damage and damage that the tenants may cause both inside the property and in the areas exteriors and gardens of the holiday rental homes.
Measures to adopt
In the meeting that Tourism carried out with the security forces, several conclusions were drawn and a line of work for the coming months. On the part of the Department of Tourism came the commitment to develop a decalogue of conduct and civic standards accompanied by a campaign to disseminate them.
From the Association of Tourism Companies of Benissa (ATEBE) it was agreed to draw up some clauses to incorporate into accommodation contracts, as well as the preparation of a creativity in notice format so that tourists have a reminder when entering the house.
With regard to the Local Police and the Civil Guard, some lines of organization were established linked to the improvement of communications and the reinforcement of operations in the specific field of action.
The delegate councilor for Tourism, Jorge Ivars, has referred to the good harmony that exists between the tourist fabric of Benissa and the technical team of his department that "are in continuous active listening, which favors the improvement of the political actions of the town hall". From the consistory it is hoped that all these actions can be effective and help to tackle a problem that is in a primary phase but that could evolve if the pertinent measures are not taken.
