San Javier to showcase its unique charm at FITUR with 'San Javier, by Land, Sea and Air'
The International Tourism Fair in Madrid is an opportunity for San Javier to highlight all it has to offer
San Javier is set to make a big impression at this year’s International Tourism Fair (FITUR) in Madrid from January 22 to 26. The Councillor for Tourism and Beaches, Estíbaliz Masegosa, announced the municipality's comprehensive programme for FITUR, which includes the launch of a new promotional video and the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Patrulla Acrobática Águila through the AIRE 25 festival.
The slogan ‘San Javier, by Land, Sea and Air’ encapsulates the essence of the municipality, highlighting its diverse attractions and experiences. This campaign will be the centrepiece of San Javier's promotional efforts at FITUR, featuring a new video that showcases the town's unique blend of terrestrial, maritime and aerial attractions.
On January 22, after the official opening of FITUR by the Spanish Royal Family, San Javier will participate in the presentation of the ‘Mar Menor, live it every day’ campaign. This campaign aims to promote year-round tourism through water sports and the area's natural resources, capitalising on more than 300 days of sunshine per year.
The following day, the mayor, José Miguel Luengo, will present San Javier as a Smart Tourist Destination in collaboration with SEGITUR, highlighting the benefits of digitalisation in tourism. In the evening, San Javier will participate in the promotion of the ‘Festivales Región de Murcia’ brand at the El Cielo de las Ventas space.
On January 24, San Javier will present its new promotional video, which aligns with the ‘San Javier, by Land, Sea and Air’ campaign. The municipality will also announce the 2025 air festival, ‘AIRE 25’, organised by the Air and Space Force to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Patrulla Águila. The festival, scheduled for June, will feature some of the most prestigious international air patrols.
Councillor for Tourism Estíbaliz Masegosa stressed the importance of FITUR, “both for the promotion of the destination from an institutional perspective and for the sector itself, which has a unique opportunity each year to attend the Fair, one of the most important in the world.”
