Among the streets of Old Town and opposite the parish of Santa Maria-key point in the tourist map of Tolosa, is the favorite place for most tourists who decide to visit the town paper.
It’s been eight years since the opening of the tourist Tolosaldea Tour. It is a service that is integrated into Garatzen Tolosaldea, local development agency founded in 1994 and who is currently managed. In the beginning, Tolosaldea Tour was located in the offices of the Association for Rural Development Tolosaldea, better known as Tolomendi, but because the work of the association was directed primarily to rural development in the area and the area of the mountain or hiking, we created a different office in order to cover more areas, as well as rural.
Since then, very quickly, started to develop tourism in the region and exploit the public image that was projected on Tolosaldea.
As stated in Ilarregi Olatz, head of the Tourism Tolosaldea Garatzen, the main objective of the tourism office and the entity in general is to provide the best possible service to visitors and provide tourist information as possible on the region to anyone tourist or passerby who came to Toulouse and its surroundings. “For tourists to know more closely and in detail our history throughout the year we offer guided tours of the Old Town and different strategic points of the villa. However, Toulouse is not our only reason for promotion, we also propose excursions to different towns and mountains of Tolosaldea. We also develop and carry out new tourism products and promote them to visitors, “adds Ilarregi Olatz.
The tourism balance held in the first half of the year has been positive, and that is Tolosaldea has grown from 4437 visitors in 2010 to 10,416 visitors during the same period in 2011.
Of that total, much has been heard at the point information on Larraitz ITZALA Txindokiko, but the number of tourists has also grown considerably in Toulouse, this year 1,842 people have come over, which means an increase of 18% compared to 2010. According Ilarregi says, the reasons for this are due to Toulouse has remained “alive” throughout the year.
The carnivals, exhibitions have been held in the Palace Aramburu, Karakol Saltsa program at Easter, the International Garden Festival, museums and Gorrotxategi Topic and the weekly market, along with other activities and programs, make Tolosa an increasingly attractive destination for visitors.
The most notable increase (35%) has been that of Gipuzkoa who come to spend the day in the region, followed by the rest of the territories of the BAC, which account for 22%. Tourists have risen markedly in the state but foreigners have been maintained. Statewide, the Catalan and Madrid remain the most loyal visitors, while internationally the most tourists come from France, the United States and England.
As for the prospects for this summer, the tourism office hopes to increase the number of visitors but their main challenge is to attract more tourists from Spain and abroad, so that impact on the occupation of the accommodation.
To this end, plans to offer a variety of proposals so that the visitors extended their stay in the region and increase the consumption of services, especially catering.
Comprehensive service
In addition to the central office, Tolosaldea Tour has different information points in holiday season, a kind of stand in the center of the square and another in Larraitz Triangle, under Mount Txindoki. The latter has become the focal point of active tourism in nature and family.
As for the service, according to the charge during the year are three people who are engaged in office work, but in times when the movement of tourists is higher extending the template to provide better care.
