The line of aid made available to owners by the Provincial Council of Ciudad Real so that the province has well-equipped accommodation that contributes to promoting quality tourism in rural areas is beginning to bear fruit in the form of new establishments capable of providing response to the needs of the most demanding visitors.
The president of the Provincial Corporation, José Manuel Caballero, has visited Pueblo Nuevo del Bullaque, the third rural house that comes into operation in the Don Jaime Complex, run by Piedad Ayuso. It is a new construction that offers tourists multiple spaces designed to make their stay very pleasant and pleasant at the doorstep of the Cabañeros National Park.
Caballero, who highlighted that in tourism matters the province currently leads the race for quality, commented that the Provincial Council intends to encourage the presence of tourists not only in Cabañeros, but also the rest of the protected natural spaces that are located in our territory, the only one in Spain that has two national parks and two natural parks.
Caballero, who has been accompanied by the mayor of Retuerta, Miguel Ángel Villa, the municipal councilor of Pueblo Nuevo, Ángel Campo, and the vice presidents Manuel Martínez and María Jesús Villaverde, has placed special emphasis on highlighting the importance of introducing parameters of quality so that tourism becomes a real engine of job creation and wealth in the province.

We want to increase the number of rural accommodations in environments of environmental interest, to increase supply and quality. And this is a double objective, because without quality it is very difficult for the tourism sector to reach the level of contribution of wealth and generation of employment that we need," said Caballero, then adding that although as a province we have a lot of potential, "really, in order for us to attract visitors and tourists, we have to compete with others who also do things well.
Hence, he has not hesitated to recognize the effort and commitment to quality made by men and women from the province who invest their money, such as Piedad Ayuso and José Luis Contreras, in this case so that Pueblo Nuevo "has a claim more to attract visitors to the area, not only passing through, but also so that they can stay and enjoy adventures, experiences and sensations in the heart of the Cabañeros park.
Caballero recalled that the Provincial Council is currently developing a Tourism Sustainability Plan in the environment related to the National Park that includes actions in the municipalities and promotional campaigns. He added, in this regard, that it is about valuing what we have and making it known, above all, in our main markets, which are Madrid, northern Andalusia and part of the Levante area.The accommodation that Caballero visited took advantage of the first call launched by the Provincial Council, which has been followed by a second one endowed with 300,000 euros, with which the president of the Provincial Council hopes to be able to obtain, once executed, more rural accommodation with more quality and attractiveness that generate more employment and more economic development.
