  "summary": "Orihuela has introduced a new tourism training programme to enhance the quality and sustainability of its tourism industry, aligning with the revamped SICTED initiative. The Department of Tourism, in collaboration with the Orihuela Chamber of Commerce, launched the training program to encourage local businesses to participate in the initiative, which has been in place since 2012. The new programme places a stronger emphasis on sustainability, smart tourism, and continuous improvement, with the introduction of a Responsible Tourism Commitment distinction. By participating, businesses can improve customer service, business management, and adopt more sustainable practices, ultimately contributing to a more competitive and environmentally responsible tourism sector in Orihuela.",
