A HUGE green trade fair is coming to Andalucia this summer.
Around 27,000 people are expected to descend on Green Cities on June 7 and 8 at Malaga’s Palacio de Ferias y Congresos.
Among them will be progressive institutions and businesses promoting products and services to help Spain become more eco-friendly and improve residents’ quality of life.
Politicians will also attend the forum to debate green measures in areas such as energy, transport, education, government, economy and the environment.
What about green TOURISM? There are so much hiking trails in the provinces of Malaga and Cadiz, but the Malaga officials never started a campaign to promote those trails to the European audience.
Instead they build more and more golf playgrounds. They never attended TourNatur, the greatest fare for Eco tourism in Europe, being offered every August at Duesseldorf/Germany.
Regarding international promotion for eco-tourism the Malaga officials have much to learn from their colleagues from the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and the Pyrenees.
