The Association of Friends of Tiermes considered a success the Castilian-English bilingual guide to visit the site.
The secretary of the Association of Friends of the Museum of Tiermes (AAMT) and co-director of Project Life Tiermes, Arturo Ignacio Aldecoa, considered a successful diffusion of the guide to visit the site, downloadable free of charge and offered in the website of the Association and the project itself (www.tiermes.net).
The guide, updated with the latest investigations Life Project, has version in both Castilian and English fills, ffxiv gil, a void for tourists who visit the site, as the former official guide, published in 2000 by the Association of Friends of the Museum Tiermes, is already exhausted.
According to Arturo Ignacio explicno Aldecoa in a statement picked up by Europa Press, with this new downloadable guide also aims to help attract cultural tourism to the region, fallen earth chips, of Tiermes Caracena, "but even in a time of economic crisis and, with the descent of cultural tourism over the past years 2008 and 2009, which came in Tiermes to historic lows, and the worrying situation in 2010, requires a "great effort" to provide the maximum visit.
"This year 2010 we are not allowed to use the facilities of, sto credits, Association Tiermes to articulate a free service guides, at no cost or for the tourist or for the administration. The free downloadable guide is the only option left to us to help Tiermes tourists visiting all year, "he said.
Tourist decrease.
Aldecoa explained that those responsible for the AAMT and the Life Tiermes are concerned about the negative trend of tourism in Tiermes and its vicinity for some time.
He explains that since the year 1997, the last year of actual archaeological work Jose Luis Argente where Tiermes reached near record of more than 18,000 visits to the Museum and over 50,000 per site, tourism began to Tiermes Caracena a crisis "continued decline."
Although it managed to halt and reverse temporarily between autumn 2003 and September 2006 with project activities Life, has come back marked negative trend.
"In our opinion, to attract and increase the flow of cultural tourism to Tiermes Caracena need for enhanced research activity, archeological and informative, serving to claim that tourism," he explained.
In this regard, I assure that exactly is what has promoted the Project Life between 2003 and 2006 with 85 percent of private financing since 2007 and what is not allowed to do "and is intended to substitute meaningless actions at great cost for the public treasury. "
Aldecoa added that both the AAMT Life as saying, as he believed in his day Jose Luis Argente, former director of the Museum and Numantino Tiermes excavations between 1975 and 1998, archaeological research "serious and continuous Tiermes, properly disseminated the media is the key to their own cultural tourism to the region.
Project Co-director recalled that during the lifetime of Jose Luis Argente, Tiermes came several years to reach almost 20,000 visitors to its museum and approached 50,000 the reservoir. From 1998 to the death of Argente, the decline of tourism to the site museum and began to be "clear."
So, specifically during the time of execution of Life Tiermes between autumn 2003 and late 2006,the number of visitors recovered to 30 percent. The trend has changed again since 2007 and in 2008 and 2009 has reached historic low since there are statistics, only 8,000 visitors coming to the Museum and a few thousand more the reservoir. The first half of 2010 has been similar.
"For all this, both the AAMT LIFE as we maintain our efforts to strengthen the region and its attractiveness for tourism. We believe that Tiermes Caracena and its neighbors deserve this job and will not hesitate to put our grain of sand in this work," concluded.
