Converting Dénia into a language tourism destination is increasingly feasible, in response to the interest of different countries in this new tourist window in the capital of the Marina Alta. Last week, agents specialized in language tourism from various countries around the world visited the city with the help of the tourism department.
Specifically, agents from the Netherlands, South Korea, Italy, Ukraine, Thailand and Germany visit Dénia, who have participated in a familiarization trip organized by FEDELE- Spanish Federation of Associations of Spanish Schools for Foreigners.
Attending to the visit program, they learned about the facilities and the offer of Spanish courses at the hand of the language tourism school TLC Dénia as well as the different types of accommodation they offer. To continue the visit, staff from the Department of Tourism of the Dénia City Council offered them a guided tour in which they got to know the most emblematic points of the city such as the historic center and castle, marinas and traditional neighborhoods.
That's fine! Great that DENIA remembers the Castilian! Because, I say, is the information provided to interested parties only in Valencian? Or does it also include Spanish? Let's not forget that both languages are co-official and that as such, they must coexist, cohabit, coexist!
I think the multiculturalism that you want to give to Denia is great. But it is time to think about all those foreigners who come to study and learn Spanish and come across posters and writings only in Valencian.
I think that can stop them.
Let's see if they give something of importance to Castilian. Do not misunderstand me, I'm a big fan of Valencian. But lately it seems that the Valencian is the only language that should be spoken. It is a pity that people being bilingual do not use languages to make themselves understood, but using Valencian because yes.
