Presentation of the Tourist Sector Promotion Plan
The Mayor of Calvià, Alfonso Rodríguez Badal, as President of the FEMP Tourism Commission, has intervened in the presentation of the Tourism Sector Promotion Plan, which has taken place in Moncloa.
In his speech, he highlighted the municipalities' role as an important part in the recovery of the economy and, specifically, of the tourism industry: "The municipalities want to be in the solution," he said, "we know what the tourism industry is, and we need it to avoid a social collapse”, regarding the destinations that, like Calvià, are highly dependent on tourism. In this sense, he has highlighted the importance of actions launched such as the ERTEs that, precisely, are avoiding this collapse, for this reason it is necessary that they continue with a necessary flexibility. Alfonso Rodríguez Badal, who has also claimed the need for local entities to have their remnants to be able to search for these solutions together, has welcomed the implementation of the Tourism Promotion Plan and the different actions that have been carried out such as sanitary protocols and all the work done to ensure the safety of visitors, workers and residents. Likewise, he spoke of the need to work on demand incentives and to reactivate investment plans for the reconversion of tourist destinations, as well as the importance of the Plan working on aspects such as training and innovation.
