Within its fight against the tourist seasonal standstill, the consistory is provided with a wide calendar of dinamization activities in the tourist areas during the low season.
The Calvià Town Hall has presented, this morning, a wide calendar of activities in order to boost the tourist areas between the months of October and April with the aim of reactivating these localities, as they will offer an important economic impact to the local business people.
The consistory's main aim is none other than to extend the tourist season. Thus, the greatest occupancy from the past years during the months of September and October took place in 2012 and this year, it is expected to break these figures with the wide range of de-seasonalising activities which expect to leave in the municipality an economic impact of approximately 2 million euros.
Events such as the Calvià Chess Festival, the Peguera Olympic Triathlon or the RKS Woman Race are some of the events which will be held during the forthcoming weeks. Furthermore, other activities which have become a classic will also have their space in the municipality's de-seasonalising calendar such as the Calvià Cup, the Magaluf International Marathon, the Mallorca Dancesport Challenge or the Europe Seven-a-side Rugby Championship.
Another of the actions to be carried out by the consistory, from the hand of Fundación Calvià 2004, is the traditional Mostra de Cuines (Gastronomic Month) (which up to now we only had in the month of April) during the month of October and also, as a novelty, Calvià will hold the I edition of Gintapa Calvià, tapas and gin-tonic routes in November, in which a total of 72 bars and restaurants of the municipality will participate.
Also, they will continue with the promotion of cycling and hiking routes, routes which are in perfect state and with perfect signage and which are promoted through leaflets which will be showcased at the tourist fairs and tourist promotional events, mainly at the Austrian, German, British and Scandinavian markets.
Moreover, another product which they are working with in order to extend the season is Birding Calvià, which expects to show the natural values of the municipality attending, especially, to the best routes in order to enjoy of the bird sighting.
Aboveall, the project of the Centro Naútico de Calvià (Sailing Centre of Calvià) will be promoted in 2014, with which it is expected to create, direct and coordinate the necessary actions to place the municipality in an international place of reference for the practice of nautical activities and sports.
In order to this, agglutinate the Calvià's nautical services offer is what is suggested in order to give a common image and thus, boost and commercialize its offer.
