THE Pet ­ Friendly tourism market is one of the products with the greatest positioning in recent times.

In Spain, there are currently 28 million pets. In more than 40 per cent of homes, there is a pet. This is a figure that has grown considerably in the last 10 years.

Dogs account for about seven million pets, while the number of children under 14 years of age adds up to 6.3 million according to statistical data.

With these data in hand, the hotel and tourist ac ­ emphasis was placed on weekend getaways and bank holiday breaks in the municipality.

With its participation in the event aimed at both professionals and the general public, VisitElche seeks to open up new business opportunities, establish collaborations with Galician and Portuguese tour operators and travel agents, as well as attract potential customers.
