Editor's Notes
Good mornig an thank you for this oportunity to be in this interesting meeting. I want to speak about the somthin exierence and case of tourism in Spain. I have been able to manage different businesses and organizations in my professional life. I had and am having contact between public organizations and private organizations. Representing the tourism private sector for six years and had responsibility for Asturias’s tourism policy design. Actually I managed a Touristic Group and I am Chairman of Touristic Cluster in Asturias an d I am president of Quality and Innovation Institute Touristic in Asturias.
My conference has two parts. Firts part I will speak about the antecedents of Tourism in Spain. Its development and evolution: its challenges and oportunities. Dares very importants and fundamentals for the future. In The second part i will speak us about Asturias and the touristic cluster
In this slide we can to see the principal indicators of tourismo in Spain. The most important figures.in 2009 year. They are important magnitudes and they talk about the weight of tourism in the Spanish economy.
This graphic is very interesting. It show us the evolution and trends of Sapnish’ tourism. Its diferents stage and periodos. Look at the left corner. The firts arrow was the firts economic depression (second oil world crises in the seventies). It was a delicated moment in the Spanish’s economy and society. A periode very confuse social and politic. It was producing the political transition from Franco’s dictatorship to democracy. The second stage. 2000 year. New economic world depression. Everybody remembers the burble crash thecnological companis. Third stage. From 2008 to actuallity. The new deep and intesive economic depression.
We have looked three diferents cycles with little depressions and it was following to growth. Three types diferents of growth more or less intensive. Now we are in a new stage more stable whit 54-55 millones de tourist. A new scenario post-crisis in the next decade. A new scenario for the consumer. It open us new oportunities for companies but this context requires a new companies’s strategy and diferent country’s strategies. Afther I will explain some. Other figures show us the Sapnish position in the touristic ranking
Before I spoke three moments. This diferents periods have been diferents strategics plans. Perhaps for its intensity, was PICTE. It was decisive. Why?. Because it was impulse The quality implementation and drafting standars. Hotels standars, Campings Standars, Travel Agency Standars, Beach standrs, Naturla parK Standars, etc. Its development was doing by Quality Spanisch Institute (It found private sector and it is helped by National Goverment) . Was created diferents Standarization Comities in AENOR by to work and to write standars. Actually Spain chairs International Committe ISO Standarization in Tourism Other very interesting policy was the implantation basic standars in little destinatios (towns, village, countys, etc) : Quality System in destination by Companies and organization. The last plan was Spain 2020. A new horizon based in the innovation and thecnology. Ideas of new products (Routes as Santiagos Way, Wine Ways), Product’s clubs (for ex. Nautic sportive Harbour), programs as Privilegie Spain, etc. A diversification of products.
New consumer and new tourist
Actually in Spain we are writting and designing a double strategy. UP- DOWN It’s producing or better, it must to produce or to happen a model productive change, From mass tourism to new tourismo more stability and more value added. It’s very necesary to go slowly changien the model mass tourism by a more productive and profitable based in innovation, thecnology, quality and new products and services. A transversal model tha integrate differents offers in the spaces. For example Wine Route. Winne Cellar, hotels, restaurants whith tipical gastronomy, museums, ..but we can to have other differents offers as SPAs and health tourism, cultural activities.
The steps are and has been this but the answer is in a more intense involment of the private sector. The cluster model driven bussines private sector is a one of the initiatives.
Start poin. Organiation teh diferents basic factors.
Something projects now in execution
During this year three members of the Cluster companies have formed a Joint Venture. They are working in a region of Asturias. A small mountainous area southeast of the region. His name is Picos de Europa. They are high peaks of Asturias are now a national park but they were a traditional pasturelands. The shepherds were rising with their flocks and small towns were founded in high in summer. This higt valleys are know as Mayadas (dialect asturian). In these high valleys is elaborated the traditional cheese.Gamoneu .A mixture of three milks, cheese and cured in a cave.. The traditional MAYADAS, the pastors, the very nice landscape are very original natural and etnographic. resources. On these resources is doing a tourist product: visit with the pastors to these high valleys. A route where pastors talk about their life, legends, traditions, etc. A route where we can eat with them on a tipical cabin. Recently was built a museum on the life of the shepherds. This cultural facility is a starting point of old roads to mayadas. A trip made with an expert guide, history, economy and geography of the region. The shepherds are the actors and the people who explain to the visitor.. A EXCLUSIVE TOURISTIC PRODUCT. EXPERIENCE. A EXAMPLE OF SEARCH AN RESEARCH OF RESOURCES AND ELABORATION PRODUCT AND SERVICES
