Security Considerations in Alicante

Stores on Avenida de Maisonnave and in the historic center receive a steady flow of residents, foreign visitors and cruise passengers, concentrated in specific time slots depending on ship arrivals. This variation requires adjusting the presence on the sales floor, stepping up the watch on fitting rooms and display windows and coordinating the busiest periods with store staff, without losing a personal approach to customer service.

The Hogueras de San Juan (Bonfires of Saint John) in June transform the city center for several days with traffic closures, installations on public streets and large crowds at night, which affects staff access and deliveries. Summer extends the tourist season on the coast. A significant share of customers speak English and other European languages, so officers able to assist in English as well as in Spanish and Valencian should be assigned.

Corporate headquarters and international organizations located outside the center, in the Playa de San Juan area and on the approaches to the city, usually require visitor control, credential management and reception service in several languages. Distances between the center, the north coast and the business parks of the metropolitan area are taken into account when planning reliefs and supervision.
