A new plan to re-launch tourism on the Costa del Sol will see the creation of a new official called the ‘Defender of the Tourist’.

The ‘Plan Qualifica’ was approved yesterday by the Cabinet of the Junta de Andalucía and has a budget of more than 335 million € which will be spent between now and 2009.

Regional councillor for tourism, Sergio Moreno, said the plan would benefit Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Casares y Manilva.

Town centres and tourist spaces will be revitalised, environmental conditions will be improved and new technologies will be used where possible.
