This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The tourists stayed and moved only in the area of the park that corresponds to Malaga. This is due to good transport communication within the province, so that tourists could enjoy beach tourism (Costa del Sol) and nature tourism. The area that corresponds to Granada did not receive any tourist arrived from Malaga due to the bad communication (public transport) between both provinces.
The tourism in Malaga was saturated while in Granada there was an offer that was not demanded. This is why it was necessary to move the flow of tourists towards Granada to avoid the saturation of the Malaga part.
Give the facility to tourists arriving at the Western part of the park to move to the Eastern part.
The business companies of the area offer the service of picking tourists from the airport and take them to their lodging. Once there, they are offered the possibility of guided tours around the area of Granada.
