Last week I had the luxury of traveling to Valencia to attend the forum on tourism distribution and presentation ceremony Travel Shop Open Apps. which acts under the Tourism Fair held in this beautiful city. Once
come to the site, do not hesitate to meet friends, meet and greet, Juan Sobejano, Isaac Vidal, Alfonso Castellanos, David Giner, Javier García Cuenca, Vicente Blasco, Felipe Antoja, Xavier sent Hosteltur Canalis and I apologize for that quote (in part because of gaps in memory) since it is not making a formal listing, the day went to next to my friend Juan Sobejano to stand stoically my verbiage (all day) as he always does when we agree, thanks "amic" by the patient.
Once in the auditorium, the speakers were developing their presentations, moderated and presented by Alfonso Castellanos, the theme is focused on tourism distribution basically operated models on the net, miss sectoral representatives in the community of travel agents receptive That in this community is, and very good (some better than others), near the end was the presentation of my friend Javier Garcia with his theory of Cocos Come, I left a sour taste in the mouth, beyond the explanations I keep a picture (nothing new) on how the sector is relating, the coconut is eaten Hotels, the ghost are the intermediaries (agents, tour operators, etc..) and finally when it uncovers that lies below the image of eating coconuts appears the logo of the tourism body of the Valencia Invatur ... ...
visual image of the paper
(Put the crooks background tune, this hysterical music that heralds what follows projected in your mind). He eats coconuts
always chase and eat the ghost with it scores points, so the game until the administration appears again, take another currency and start another game. Café
relaxing with Vicente Blasco had long disagreed, we shared some ECTAA sessions in Athens and Bonn is a travel agent like me (the sender and I is receptive, not misunderstand) had a meeting AEDAVE associated agencies, as always Vicente axis are good hosts and negotiator, briefly greet their friends Nexotur, shy greeting of Eugenio de Quesada.
Noon, lunch with John Sobejano on equal terms, sharing coffee i in the hall with sectoral People wandered around the grounds (now understand my apologies to John early).
In the afternoon I went to the presentation of the Open Travel Apps tool that commanded the Department to develop for the entire tourism sector, to explain briefly is an application platform called where all sectors are there Hotels, restaurants, receptive operators, campsites apartments with the aim of presenting an offer homogeneous market in the concept of territory and diverse in its various forms. I
two questions (which I'm not usually ask questions) answered me from the table very carefully although one was left spinning the closed atmosphere of the room.
The first was whether the application or tool sector came as a request or proposal for the administration, response: sectoral unanimous request.
Second question, what was the sectoral distribution of weight in decision making, the head of the table I suspect the bad baba my question and turned to an official who was in the room Invatur agency, also had account of the poisoning of the question, overcame me and said that was egalitarian, but until 2013 no differences and they sensed that to date the Department is responsible for all costs (construction, consulting, promotion and development).
During the day, I talk to different people about this tool, and the views were very different, there is observed depending on the person and his activity in the territory, fears, doubts and some other satisfaction.
My complexity to develop judgments about the day in Valencia, begins to clear uncertainties about the role of government and institutions and business lobbies.
What follows next may be true for any community or state.
The perceived feeling is that the representatives should direct their efforts towards a scheme in which they devote their efforts to make their community to lead the sector, (If necessary with a hammer) speak of the customer as if you serve coffee every day, yes, via Facebook.
On the other side are those who serve coffee every day in person, however limited to the coffee place without looking into the eyes of the customer.
With these two brief examples, it is clear that there is a GAP between them, old as well, nothing new about the debates over the years we have been discussing.
not expect conclusions as I have them, I shall merely observe, and depending on the color of the seat of the tram, I hope the following amount or, in the end I care little about where it goes, the only difference is that some day climb and other low, but the tram always follows the attachment to the rail, everything I have told you is a description of the landscape that one sees along the way, the advantage of these vehicles is that you can only make two decisions, when you get on and when you get down, provided they do not fall asleep.
Greetings from Costa Brava
