Mayor Carlos Delgado, together with the Councillor of Tourism Kate Mentink were at Fitur, the biggest national tourism fair, in order to promote the Municipality and talk about the important investment made to improve quality and variety within the current touristic offer.
This investment of 19.5 million Euros is made with a view to improving and extending sporting equipment and facilities in the municipality, as well as the building of new amenities for sports. Together with the existing tourist amenities and the wide selection of hotel accomodation this should turn Calvià into a holiday destination "par excellence".
This investment starting during the last legislature in the project "Calvià al dia" which included big investment for improvement in the municipal infrastructure for sport, education, health, tourism etc ...
There are many building projects which have already come to fruition and others which will take place during this legislature. One of the star projects is the new Athletic ground and grass football pitch on which building has already started in Magalluf and will be completed by next November. This will attract sportsmen and sportswomen all year round particularly from Central and Northern Europe.
Amonst the completed works we should highlight the new Indoor swimming pools in Santa Ponça, Son Caliu, Peguera and Son Ferrer as well as the covering over of the existing pool in Magalluf and the improvements made in Calvià town and Bendinat in addition the refurbishment of sports centres and building of new areas for sports in Son Caliu, El Toro and Portals.
As part of the promotion of Calvià as an ideal sports destination the Town Hall has published "Calvià is sport", a catalogue of all sports amenities in all areas of the municipality, with detailed information. The catalogues will be distributed at all forthcoming Tourism Fairs.
