The mayor, Juan José Cánovas, and the Councilor for Tourism, Verónica Carricondo, have presented the update project of the Tourism web portal of Totana, the site www.turismo.totana.es, which is presented as more attractive from the point of visual and informative view, offering a closer and more modern image.
The municipal officials have thanked the work of the technicians of the company Avatar Internet SLL, who have undertaken these works within the framework of the global contract they have with the City of Totana;
as well as the photographer Pedro Antonio Tudela Hernández who made the photographic update of the new portal.
The mayor of Tourism and Culture explained that, from now on, the image of the Tourism page is renewed to make it "more attractive and in accordance with the design that currently governs the websites that are currently visually priority."
Similarly, he said that "special care has been taken in selecting photographs that show the benefits that Totana has and that we want to project to all those who come to visit us because it is the first window, the first impression of our people abroad" .
When you start browsing the page, the visitor finds a start menu that encompasses all the resources that Totana has in agglutinated words that imply positive attitudes, such as "Discover, Feel, Live and Enjoy".
In this section, these terms are the plot line to approach tourist resources of the municipality:
Discover: Routes, La Bastida, Pottery, Environment and History.
Feel: Holy Week and Sanctuary of La Santa.
Live: Fiestas (Carnival, pilgrimages and Festivals of Santiago).
Enjoy: Local cuisine.
In addition, there are three banners with a lot of presence for La Bastida Reservations and More ..., Tower Museum and Tourism Office;
which are the visits that are usually offered today by the Department of Tourism.
In this regard, the mayor highlighted the banner of reservations to La Bastida and More ... because for a few months now the tickets to visit the site are made online and will also happen with all the visits that are scheduled and that are scheduled will present shortly.
In this way, by clicking directly on the image, the user links to the Murcia Tourism portal to purchase these tickets 24 hours a day, seven days a week: access and reservations are therefore facilitated for all those who are interested in carrying out the proposed activities.
In the case of the Tower Museum, to give visibility to the great tourist resort that has the center of the city and that is the great unknown even for the local population, it offers the possibility to discover the secrets that the Tower hides and climb to the top of the bell tower to see "bird's eye view" Totana, as an experience to be known.
For its part, the Tourist Office offers the most important novelty such as "Virtual Tourism Office", because when you click and complete the questionnaire in three languages ​​(Spanish, English and French) that appears in the image, it automatically responds to the user's email to the questions that have been consulted as accommodation, routes, culture, parties, etc.;
and therefore an additional service is offered to the visitor / tourist with the implementation of this new page.
In addition, it was explained that the Tourism portal of Totana offers 7 categories and highlights the "Top TenTotana" that are the essentials of a visit to Totana with a short, direct and attractive message for the visitor.
Again, the images once again have a prominent presence to claim attention.
In this case, by clicking on them the information is broken down and deepening in each of them.

Also, going down to the bottom of the page the most practical part for the visitor is developed, such as the information of:
