Hotel occupancy goes up in Cambrils in Easter thanks to World Dance Sport

Cambrils. Costa Daurada. 20th april 2012. The Councillor for Tourism Cambrils, Xavi Martin, has praised the impact of the OJ World Dance Sport and other sporting events on tourism and the international promotion of the city. Hotel occupancy during the day that marked the international dance sport championship rose two points over last year, going from 75 to 77%. The councilor expressed his satisfaction for this rise, which contrasts with the general decline of employment in the Costa Dorada, considering the current economic situation. "The forecasts have been exceeded and failed to save an Easter that had many doubts," he said. For their part, both hoteliers and taxi drivers also have positive feedback. According to employment data from the Observatory of the Gold Coast, there were 11,000 overnight stays in Cambrils, of which 2,500 (23%) correspond to DO World Dance Sport. We must also add the impact of other sporting events like football tournament Gold Coast Cup (with the participation of teams from different countries), the 9th TGN Basketball tournament (with 42 teams across the state) and stays sports of football and athletics. Finally, the councilman has also highlighted the promotion abroad of Cambrils in national and international level has meant that the DO World Dance Sport, which will be broadcast on television in 20 countries, including Cambrils is especially interesting for markets such as France, Russia, England, Switzerland and Denmark. From next week on Channel 2 Sports Catalonia Television broadcast programs 8 championship sports balls. The intention of the company producing the championship and the City is to continue to DO World Dance Sport, but the last word will be the Governing Council of Tourism (which includes representatives of employers cambrilenc), which is the body that should make this decision.
