The Spanish resort changes its name

6 Dec. 2007

The part of the Catalonia coast, before designated on maps as Costa del Maresme, received a new name - ?osta de Barcelona-Maresme. In opinion of the Spanish tourist industry representatives, such a change will do only good for the region from the point of view of the tourism development. The experts are sure that such a "rebranding" will essentially facilitate the positioning of the market area. The new tourist zone of Catalonia has already its logotype and site.
