Horizon 2026: New Challenges, Fleet Updates, and Unwavering Enthusiasm

At the The Best Day Tours offices, looking ahead to 2026 means looking at a year full of activity. When we review our planning, we see the reflection of our entire team’s effort and the trust that our clients and institutions continue to place in us year after year.

We want this article to serve as a roadmap. A space to share with you, with total transparency, what this new cycle holds for us, how we have improved our resources, and what our vision is for the coming months.

Cartagena and Alicante: Logistical Support in a Year of Growth

Forecasts for 2026 along the Mediterranean coast are very positive. Both the ports of Cartagena and Alicante are showing figures for calls and passengers that surpass previous records. These are excellent news for the economy of both areas, as well as a significant logistical challenge for the companies operating on the ground.

Our mission here is clear: to be the trusted partner for Tour Operators. We are the extension of their team at the destination, the execution arm they need to guarantee that their operations are a success.

We understand the dynamics of the ports and know that having multiple ships in port simultaneously is part of the sector’s normality. Therefore, we are prepared to respond with agility, coordination, and professional service, ensuring that TTOO clients enjoy their stopover without any setbacks.

Stability in Almería

On the other hand, in Almería, we are observing a consolidation of figures. The destination maintains the growth numbers of previous years, allowing us to work with stable forecasting and continue offering our usual high-quality service on the Andalusian coast.

The First Face of Cartagena: Renewal of the Tourist Information Point

2026 brings us news that we are especially excited about: we have once again won the tender to manage the Tourist Information Point at the Cartagena cruise terminal.

This is a huge responsibility and a source of pride. It means that our team will continue to be the first smile and the first helping hand that passengers encounter at the foot of the ship. We will continue informing, guiding, and welcoming the thousands of visitors arriving in our city, collaborating to ensure their first impression of Cartagena is unbeatable.

Public Service: Commitment to Imserso and Municipal Museums

A fundamental part of our daily activity is the management of contracts with public administration, where our teams work to highlight heritage and social tourism.

regarding Imserso (Social Tourism for Seniors), in 2026 we continue to manage operations in the Region of Murcia, as well as in Torrevieja and Guardamar. Our focus is on the quality of daily service and the satisfaction of the groups we attend to, ensuring that every user enjoys their stays and excursions with the best possible care.

Likewise, it is an honor to give voice to the history of our cities through current contracts with the town halls:

• Cartagena City Council: Our official guides are in charge of conducting guided tours in heritage jewels such as the City Hall Palace (Palacio Consistorial) and the Municipal Archaeological Museum, among other interpretation centers in the city.
• La Unión City Council: We provide our specialized staff to showcase the iconic Mining Museum, a key piece of the area’s culture.

Fleet Updates: Innovation on Wheels

If there is something that motivates us this year, it is seeing how our recent investments bring real value to the destination. Since last year, we have incorporated our own assets that allow us to offer different, high-quality experiences:

• Electric Bicycle Fleet: We have high-end e-bikes, perfect for sustainable and active tourism. They allow us to design routes that cover more ground with less effort, an option increasingly in demand.
• Open-Top Double-Decker Bus: A gem for panoramic tourism. This vehicle offers a unique perspective of the city and the coast, providing added value and a differentiating factor to our excursions and private services.

The Independent Traveler: Our Three Digital Windows

Although support for TTOO and administration is vital, we also take care of travelers who decide to organize their trips on their own. We have three distinct channels that cover the specific needs of the private market:

1. The Best Day Tours: Experts in Cartagena and Murcia

Through www.thebestdaytours.com, we address visitors who want to delve deeper into our land. We sell guided tours and activities in the Region of Murcia, with a special emphasis on Cartagena, where we offer quality visits to thoroughly explore its heritage.

2. Free Tours Cartagena: Culture for Spanish Speakers

For the local and national audience, www.freetourscartagena.es remains the reference. We focus on offering cultural tours in Spanish that are entertaining yet rigorous, ideal for those looking for a first contact with the city’s history.

3. Top Spain Tours: Experiences Across Spain

Finally, with www.topspaintours.com, we broaden the horizon. This is our platform to market selected tours and experiences in Spain’s main tourist destinations, taking our management seal beyond our region.

Ready for 2026

With the Information Point open, the fleet ready, and the teams coordinated, we welcome this new year of work. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

See you at the destination!
