Albano has announced the enlargement of the third part of our seashore and its definite link with José Sarney road, limited by wonderful beaches like Aruana,
Robalo and Mosqueiro. The manager has explained that the projects have been delayed due to problems with the IBAMA and SPU; however they're solved by now.
The central street market is also believed to be essential to support the tourism in our ciy. In the other area - where there used to be the old street market - it is going to be built a popular shopping provided with small restaurants, tapestry stores and a special area, for artistic and cultural activities, all based in the famous Londoner Covent Garden.
Historical cities as Sao Cristovão and Laranjeiras will also be helped
by the government as well as Canindé do São Francisco, located at the high
arid area of Sergipe. There, we can find the Xingó hidro-eletric station
with its great lake formed by the São Francisco dam, surrounded by mountains of a red clay, which brings memories of the american Colorade.
The current administration intends to build Xingó airport so that it can receive flights from the most important airlines. Xingó's area is being prepared for the
opening of Casinos if gambling finally becomes legal in our country.
Meanwhile, Aracaju's airport, which is being rebuilt, will be ready
by the end of this year. It will becom one of the most modern airport in the Northweast, able to receive international flights and bigger planes - because of the 300m expansion of its landing stip.
Albano Franco believes, however, that the most important and biggest
investment related to tourism is being done in the road system. The
administration will also start to build the road which will link Estância and
Indiaroba, in the South of Setgipe, extending to Praia do Pontal and conecting all the Linha Verde, Rio Poxim's bridge at Mosqueiro. This last one conects Aracaju to Caueira, Abais, Saco and other beaches, finally reaching Salvador.
