The Dolmen of Dombate in Cabana de Bergantiños hosted a meeting on Thursday, 12 November, between CMAT – Costa da Morte Tourism Association and tourism councillors and technical staff from the municipalities belonging to the destination. The aim was straightforward: strengthen direct communication with the people who welcome visitors and manage tourism at municipal level.
Listening to local tourism teams
CMAT outlined its ongoing work, including an educational programme, studies into the possible introduction of a tourist tax, and challenges surrounding motorhome tourism. Participants also discussed the need for new promotional maps and guides tailored to local tourist information offices.
The meeting was equally an opportunity to listen. Municipal representatives shared proposals, day-to-day needs and constructive criticism, and welcomed having a dedicated space for direct discussion with the association.
Opening Costa da Morte Tourism Week
The gathering marks the beginning of Costa da Morte Tourism Week. Activities organised by CMAT in collaboration with the Provincial Council of A Coruña will continue over the weekend, ahead of the sixth Costa da Morte Tourism Meeting on Tuesday, 17 November, at Parador Costa da Morte in Muxía.
Through this initiative, CMAT aims to foster more open and participatory destination governance, giving every member municipality an opportunity to learn about and contribute to the association’s work, whether or not it is represented on the board.
