Great efforts are also being made to provide visitors with the best and most comprehensive service possible, as well as the highest possible standard of facilities. Another factor contributing to the Region's attractiveness as a destination is the proximity of its various attractions. This is due fundamentally to the vast improvements that have been made in communications.

In this regard, the first few years of the twenty-first century are clear evidence of the region's rapid progress in transportation infrastructure. The Madrid-Murcia motorway, for example, means that the journey from the peninsula's center to the Murcia coast now takes less than four hours. Similarly, the construction of four new regional dual carriageways (Zeneta-SanJavier, Totana-Mazarrón, Alhama-Campo de Cartagena, and a fourth connecting the latter two) has improved interregional traffic flow and access to the coast. Other enhancements include the dual carriageway conversion of the northern access to Cartagena and the motorway between Cartagena and Vera, which connects Murcia to the province of Almera via the coast.
