Mayor's hearing with the British ambassador to discuss matters of interest by both institutions
Mayor of Calvià, Alfonso Rodríguez Badal, conveyed to the United Kingdom's ambassador, Hugh Elliot, the interest of the municipality in, with all the precautions, the possibility of a travel reopening so British tourism can return to Calvià.

In addition, the mayor thanked the ambassador for the good relations that have always existed between the Town Hall and the Consulate in relation to the important colony of British residents who in Calvià account for more than 9% of the census, and also the collaboration that each year there is between both institutions to deal with drunkenness tourism.
The meeting was also attended by the first deputy mayor and spokesperson, Nati Francés; the deputy mayor for Sports and Foreign Citizenship, Eva Serra; the British vice consul, Lucy Gorman, and the Town Hall's director general for Tourism, Xavier Pascuet.
