The president recalled that any merchant, whether or not a member of AICO, can participate "as long as they have their activity in Benidorm. We do not allow them to come from other populations. " Parra emphasized that the event will be publicized throughout the province of Alicante and Albacete and Murcia. "We want - he said - that customers visit the city with the excuse of the fair and end up buying not only in the outlet but in all shops in Benidorm."

The children will be great protagonists of the fair. There will be a free playroom from the age of four. popular games, magic, inflatable and workshops of twisting, mandalas, bracelets, origami, or 'atrapasueños' free. In addition, the Outlet Fair will receive visits from Disney characters and the Patrol Dog.

Decline in summer sales h4>
One of the strengths that augur the success of this seventh edition of the Outlet Fair is, according to Raúl Parra, the existence of an "important stock" in most of the shops of Benidorm "due to the poor results of the summer campaign " The analyzes carried out by AICO advance a "decrease in sales between 30 and 50%", partly due to the decrease in the number of tourists. This data means that merchants will offer more product than in previous editions that "will benefit the consumer". However, the sector is very concerned about the data. Given the dilemma, Ana Pellicer announced that next week there will be a meeting with AICO and municipal experts where this issue will be addressed, among others.
