San Javier Town Council is actively looking for a company to supply and install public Wi-Fi in various outdoor locations as part of a project aimed at boosting tourism. The initiative is fully funded by the European Union through the NextGenerationEU programme and seeks to modernise the municipality while enhancing the visitor experience. The contract will involve the supply, installation, and commissioning of the Wi-Fi network at key tourist sites.

The new free public network will provide easy internet access for visitors and will enable the council to collect data on how tourists utilise the area. This information will be instrumental in helping the municipality make informed decisions to enhance services and improve the overall visitor experience.

With this project, San Javier aims to create a smarter tourism experience by leveraging technology to improve connectivity at major attractions. The council believes that better internet access will be beneficial for both tourists and local businesses, ultimately contributing to the district’s economic growth.

San Javier has a strong summer tourism presence due to its location by the Mar Menor and Mediterranean. While it attracts a significant number of tourists during peak months, the area is also popular among retirees year-round. The investment in public Wi-Fi is just one step in the broader San Javier Sustainable Tourism Destination Plan, which includes various initiatives to strengthen the local tourism sector.
