I compete to rehabilitate the tourist zones.

A complete makeover of the tourist resorts in the municipality is the latest objective of Calvià Town Hall.

With a view to improving existing facilities and incorporating new ones as announced by the corporation and the tourst sector. The Town Hall lead by Mayor Carlos Delgado will carry out this initiative for ideas for improvements, which can be entered by professionals such as arquitects and legal professionals, as long as the team leader/responsible person is a fully qualified arquitect of the highest grade.

 

The application period will be open for 30 days after the announcement in the Official Bulletin of the Balearic Islands. There are three potential prizes in the competition. The first prize is 50.000 euros and the possibility of executing the plan, the second is 25.000 euros and the third is 10.000 Euros.

The panel of judges will study the work which will be presented anonymously. The Town Hall will have exclusive rights to the winning proposals.

As a selection process issues such as conceptual and formal quality will be taken into consideration, as well as impact on the enviroment , urban effects and cost, amongst many other things.

This initiative should mainly affect tourist establishments by way of upgrading quality and thus raising the category in some cases. It will also affect inner city areas by way of the creation of new open spaces, pedestrian walkways, upgrading of commercial areas and outdoor facilities. Publicity will play an important part to incentivise rural tourism, sports, nautical, golf courses etc.

This rehabilitation plan will also include suggestions put forward by Mayor Carlos Delgado, such as a sports centre, an artificial coral reef, a congress centre and an art gallery, among many other projects. Furthermore the plan will extend and complement other projects in place such as the upgrade for Calvià town and Es Capdella with the aim of extending the tourist offering of culture sport and leisure from the coast inland.

Added to this there is the bonus of the Galatzó Estate which is rich in culture and nature, bringing a more specialised tourist offering to Calvià.
