This Sunday Garrot (anti-tourism action group in the Marina Alta) went to the Creek Portitxol from Xàbia to display a large banner on the rocks so that the tourists present could read what it said: "Let's stop touristification, tourists go home."
It is not the first time that the group goes to this cove, taking advantage of the greater influx of the place in August. Just two days before, last Friday, the activists sealed the blue door, the hallmark of the place, and posted comments online against the influencers who promote the cove online, making it more popular and encouraging more visits.
SWOT analysis and tourist rate
Unfortunately, the level of tourism that comes to Spain in search of natural spaces is very low, they bring more harm than benefits, but Spain needs to pull down its pants to survive, just like third world countries or worse.
TOURISTS GO HOME
Although I understand the concerns of groups like Garrot about tourism in Cala del Portitxol, I cannot agree with the extremist position they promote. His speech rejecting mass tourism is not only short-sighted, but also demonstrates a lack of understanding about the importance of tourism for Xàbia. Tourism is a vital source of employment and growth for the local community, and demonizing it is ultimately a direct attack on the residents who depend on it for their livelihood.
Protecting our natural environment is crucial, but not at the cost of sabotaging such an essential economic activity. Instead of promoting sweeping restrictions that alienate visitors and harm the local economy, Garrot should focus on practical and sustainable solutions. There are many ways to manage tourism responsibly, such as the implementation of quality controls, infrastructure improvements, and educational programs that promote respect for the environment.
The approach that Garrot proposes is destructive and short-term. If they really care about the future of Xàbia, they should put aside the divisive rhetoric and start working on proposals that benefit everyone, instead of harming the community they say they want to protect.
Tourists go home!!
First of all, if you are going to write in English, it would be good to do it correctly. The correct way would be 'Tourists, go home!' with proper spelling and punctuation. Furthermore, the message you are conveying is aggressive and unnecessary. There are more constructive ways to express your point of view without resorting to hostility.
I suggest you think twice before posting something like this.
I share!!
On the one hand, we must consider that this town and many of its surroundings, although not touristy, live off tourism and must be taken care of, but taking care of tourism is not promoting housing without at the same time guaranteeing the necessary services.
An example is the water supply that was talked about yesterday and another is the beaches and here I come to insist on what has been mentioned previously that the City Council carry out the necessary works to enable access to Cala Ambolo, which is one of the Few expansion possibilities exist in Javea.
On the other hand, wanting to limit the number of tourists is like putting doors on the countryside. The only real thing is that they limit themselves, when they see that they don't have a beach, they may have water restrictions, they suffer traffic jams every day, you can't access many places, etc., etc.
Tourists go home!!!
You better leave Cala Ambolo alone. The fewer who go, the better. I don't think the solution is to let them continue to overcrowd absolutely all natural spaces. Better that it remains a beach with prohibited access.
These pancantero podemonguers must be officials with a half-resolved life who are bothered by the rest, I bet that not a single one is from Jávea, in addition to the ridiculousness of hiding behind the banner, they are aware of the antics they do.
Bullies paid by interests to continue destroying our economy in exchange for fictitious environmentalism.
Damn kid, you exude poison
GO HOME TOURIST
It seems that the truth stung you, just as MA says, you are surely not from Jávea, therefore you are enemies of Jávea and that is how you should be treated.
Do what you preach and go home.
The garrot ones. What they will do for them is to stand at the entrance of the hut and collect the entrance fee. Això is what you are looking for. Diners and also subsidies by some politics. Or who paid for the banner? Isn't it a stay at your home? What we all lack is a little Empathy. and greetings to Padilla. That last week he died, “it takes a while for something to come out of the boats” but he doesn't tell you about all the shit that is on land that he releases and goes to the sea, no. All the boats
Javea is completely overcrowded, its coves are no longer what they were, but it is not an island, it has few accessible ones and the 2 slightly larger ones are bursting at the seams, this cannot be fixed with a tax, not to mention the fires, now There is one at the foot of Montgo…is it really worth it? Whom ? (ah, okay)
You hate javea, right? What's cool is that everything is done to shit and that people from four companies are getting rich. Because?
I was responding to other comments, not this one, sorry.
Ha ha these Garretas are the first to destroy the Pyrenees and other places where they do not live, the curious thing is that on top of that, these Cayetanos are the ones who feed them with their taxes.
That said, it is true that something will have to be done, they sell this part of the coast as if it were the Maldives and that's how it goes.
And these clubs never go on vacation
TRUE???
They have absolute certainty about everything that happens
Xe, aneu a fer la má, moniatos
They are a bunch of sweet potatoes who hide behind a banner and, for example, on the September float they make a fool of themselves with a "van-float" with a message in Valencian lest the tourists understand them if they put it on Castilian.
They are ridiculous and cowards from first to last but it would be nice if when they leave their orchards they would be treated the same.
Seriously, you embarrass even your own people.
