Pascual Lucas stated that "we are going to FITUR with the enthusiasm that comes with a project in which an entire town participates. Blossoming is a natural phenomenon inherent to the identity of the people of Cieza, who have spent their entire lives enjoying the pink-tinged fields, with the respect that the hard work of our farmers deserves. Today, Cieza is a smart and sustainable tourist destination capable of showcasing its rich heritage and traditions to the world."

"At the world's most important tourism fair, FITUR, the best are there, and with our tourism potential, Cieza has to be there. We'll give it our all, we'll continue working tirelessly to ensure that Cieza remains a benchmark for tourism and maintains the privileged position we've established it in," concludes Antonio Moya, Cieza City Councilor for Tourism.
