Aviba backs Raixa events

Riera said however that it was important that all event management was controlled according to existing standards of practice and trading bylaws. “Aviba” is split into a number of sections and yesterday both the Business Conference and Destination Management Company divisions were congratulating the Council of Majorca on their decision because, according to Riera, “there are very few such splendid scenic spots and historic houses which are prepared to cater for tourism of this quality.” Aviba claimed that it is important to protect and maintain such emblematic locations because in the context of encouraging visitor investment, these properties and estates are attractions that distinguish the island from other destinations. Aviba also pointed to the fact that both residents and foreigners who are likely to want to hold business or private events at Raixa are probably of high financial standing and that having the estate open for such purposes 12 months of the year will help to promote all-year-round tourism. Riera said it was high time event management of such properties was in private hands because until now, even food and drink had had to be approved by public authorities.
