The Consell de Mallorca holds a new Forum on Tourism Governance and Sustainability in Cala Millor

The Councillor for Tourism was in charge of closing the forum and during his speech, he stated that his department’s ‘commitment is to promote a model of responsible tourism within our environmental and social limits’ and that ‘this is where tourism governance plays an important role, because it is essential to work in the destinations’.

Rodríguez pointed out that ‘the active participation of the community and the sector in decision-making on tourism is fundamental. And, therefore, the role of the town councils is fundamental’. To conclude, the councillor stressed the importance of being able to take advantage of ‘Mallorca’s leadership to change the way people see us from the outside, achieving effective social and environmental coexistence within a framework of sustainable development of tourist activity’.

The day began with an opening speech by Jaume Soler, Mayor of Sant Llorenç, followed by a presentation by Pedro Mas of his department’s road map and the objectives of the legislature. He announced that since the beginning of the legislature he has already visited ‘all the town councils of Mallorca, held more than 100 technical meetings with the institutions and, in addition, we have 20 projects of our own underway from this new island directorate that I direct, whose objective is to value the work of the town councils and help them’.
‘Collaboration with all the local councils has been active and constant throughout the entire legislature, in order to gain first-hand knowledge of the development of activity in each territory and at each moment in time. We start from the conviction that they are different’, he added.
