Currently, work is being done on the draft of two tax ordinances to regulate payment in exhibition spaces and the aforementioned castle. The aim is to highlight the city's cultural heritage and ensure its maintenance, modernisation and improvement.

The Department of Finance, under the direction of Toni Gallego, is preparing these ordinances that will affect important tourist and cultural infrastructures, such as Santa Bárbara Castle, the Alicante Museum of Contemporary Art (MACA), the Fish Market, Las Cigarreras, the Hogueras Museum and the Nativity Scene Museum.

The initiative includes the implementation of a digital citizen card with bonuses ranging from free admission to reduced prices or special discounts

Gallego has pointed out that many cities, both in Spain and in the province, already charge for access to their monuments and museums. According to the councillor, it is reasonable for Alicante to follow this trend to generate additional income to support the maintenance of heritage, thus complementing the taxes already paid by citizens.

In addition, a digital citizen card is being developed, promoted by the Department of Innovation, Information Technology and Digital Agenda headed by Antonio Peral. This card will offer discounts, free admission or reduced prices for residents, thus promoting more affordable access.

The main objective of these measures is to enhance the tourist and cultural offer of Alicante, while encouraging visitors to contribute to the conservation and modernisation of these spaces, including the development of new technologies and personalised experiences.
