Alicante-Elche and Valencia airports. “Consell wrongly says he cares about tourism and that all he cares about is doing business and planning infrastructure to suit the market,” Calabuig said.

Valencian Community tax free and as an economical solution in more ports and airports. Regarding the issue he defined as “sun and beach tourism”, he explained that there is a situation of climate change and depletion of natural resources that tourism policies should address.
