Xàtiva to Promote Its August Fair and Inclusive Tourism at FITUR 2025

Xàtiva, a charming town in the province of Valencia, Spain, is gearing up to make a significant impact at the upcoming FITUR 2025, one of the most important tourism fairs in the world. For the third consecutive year, Xàtiva will be showcasing its rich cultural and tourist attractions, highlighting two major events that are set to draw international attention.

The August Fair: A Celebration of Tradition

One of the main attractions Xàtiva will be promoting is its annual August Fair, a vibrant celebration that embodies the town's rich cultural heritage. This fair is a cornerstone of Xàtiva's summer calendar, featuring a plethora of activities, including traditional music, dance, and local cuisine. The fair is a must-visit event for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the authentic spirit of Valencian culture.

Inclusive Tourism Initiative

In addition to the August Fair, Xàtiva will also be highlighting its commitment to inclusive tourism. The town has organized a special day dedicated to inclusive tourism, aiming to make its tourist offerings accessible to all visitors, regardless of their abilities. This initiative reflects Xàtiva's dedication to ensuring that everyone can enjoy the town's historical sites, cultural events, and natural beauty.

Other Notable Developments in Xàtiva

Apart from its participation in FITUR, Xàtiva has been making strides in various other areas. The town has recently secured substantial subsidies to improve and prevent forest fires in the Natural Park of "Cova Negra" and Bixquert, with allocations of €39,972.19 for maintenance and €15,652.03 for fire prevention[1].

Xàtiva is also preparing for a festive Christmas season with over 60 activities planned, including sports events, solidarity initiatives, and traditional celebrations. The town's culinary scene has also received a boost with local chef Aitor López from Restaurant Citrus del Tancat earning his first Michelin star[1].

Community and Solidarity Efforts

The community in Xàtiva has shown remarkable solidarity, particularly in response to the recent DANA (a type of severe storm) that affected nearby areas. The town has served as a logistical hub for relief efforts, with volunteers and resources being mobilized to support affected municipalities like Algemesí and Picanyal[1].

Upcoming Events

In the coming months, Xàtiva will host several notable events, including the "Catalinetes i Cançonetes" family festival and the inauguration of the Betlem Monumental nativity scene. The town will also see improvements in its sports facilities, with new lighting and seating installations at various sports venues[1].

Xàtiva's presence at FITUR 2025 is a testament to its growing reputation as a destination that offers a unique blend of cultural richness, natural beauty, and community spirit. Whether you are interested in traditional fairs, inclusive tourism, or simply exploring the charms of a Valencian town, Xàtiva is definitely a place to keep on your radar for 2025.
