\nPOIO’S APPEARANCE IN MEDIA AND SOCIAL NETWORKS AROUND THE WORLD: A PROMOTION WITH A VALUE OF OVER \u20ac4M<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
Being the starting point of La Vuelta was not only an opportunity at a sporting level, but also at an economic, social and tourist level. Poio was the protagonist of a test that is broadcast in 190 countries around the world, with an average of one million viewers per stage and with millions of viewers on social networks. <\/p>\n\n
Images of Poio were broadcast all over the world. The council was present not only on television, in the press, and on the radio, but also in digital media and social networks. An unprecedented international promotion of the council with a value that the Poio Council itself could not assume. According to a specialized consultant, the promotional value of this global visibility for Poio would exceed 4 million euros. During the broadcast of stage 16, images of emblematic places in Poio such as Combarro, the Senda do La\u00f1o, the Bosque de Col\u00f3n, the Island of Tambo, San Xo\u00e1n\u2026 among others, were broadcast.

But in addition to all of the above, La Vuelta also had a direct impact on the local economy. Although the starting point of La Vuelta was the Praza da Chousa, the event involved the entire municipality: The race helicopter took off from A Seca; other points of Combarro were protagonists of the start, such as the Praza da Chousa, the Paseo das Redeiras, R\u00faa Maceiras, and the two ports; and the caravan and the pack moved along the PO-308. <\/p>\n\n
The test caravan alone mobilizes more than 3,000 people, including cyclists, technical teams, media and accredited personnel. As the previous Monday coincided with the day of rest of the test, organization personnel, as well as some teams and journalists, began to arrive in Poio from Sunday, which meant a significant hotel occupancy throughout the municipality. This early arrival also allowed to boost the hotel and local commerce sectors for several days. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
