A well -scheduled agenda

The increase in reservations in September in the capital is motivated, as expected, for the acts that will be organized in Zaragoza during these dates. “We started the month with Vive Latino, we also have the Jazz International Festival of Zaragoza and with music cycles in the Auditorium. We will also host several congresses, mainly the SEDO Congress and also a Palliative Care Congress. We will even have an encounter in the city of followers of Star Wars,” he said.

For the president of Horeca, having an agenda scheduled in advance works very well to foster tourism in the city, “and in the end the whole of the city of Zaragoza and its province are increasingly attractive and among all we have to put it in value to get more travelers, so that it is also the epicenter and the capture of new events for the city of all kinds.” Thus, Inspencio has assured that “we are working in good direction”, although he has assured that they are working intensely to improve these figures.
