The event was closed by Mayor Toni Pérez who recalled that “with the aim of supporting the city we began to create things like the #BenidormTeEspera, #LuceBenidorm or #BenidormTeDaMás campaigns, which are efforts to inject economy into local businesses.” Pérez also stressed the City Council's commitment "to boost the local economy, knowing that you are not only the ones who serve us, but also the ones who give soul and light to the street." For this reason, he added that "as in Benidorm the destination is the city, we ask the locals to make those who visit us happy." The first mayor ended his speech by recognizing “the special effort you make to make the city look brighter and better at Christmas.”
