The project

This overarching project encompasses three major lines focused on the ongoing need to improve the main economic activity of the Balearic Islands: the tourism industry.

As tourism is undoubtedly the archipelago’s main resource, it needs to be constantly transforming, innovating and developing in a way that is sustainable now and in the future.

 
That’s why the competitiveness of the tourism sector needs to be improved based on the following strategic lines:

   1. Positioning of the tourism brands Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.

• Positioning a brand image associated with the Balearic Islands’ own values to encourage people to discover the brand’s positive aspects.
• Strengthening sport, cultural, food, nature, meeting, incentive, conference and event products, etc.
• Becoming well-known, finding influencers and making travellers loyal to our Balearic destinations.
• Boosting the presence of brands in public media.
• Supporting the private sector in staging major events involving an image transfer whereby the values of sport, culture, cuisine, etc., are associated with our destination brands.

2. Training as a way to develop talent and optimise human resource management in the tourism sector.

       
      • Designing a collaborative public–private training strategy.
      • Planning training requirements based on current and future needs.
      • Generating a dynamic training plan adapted to market requirements and capable of motivating human resources.
      • Making talent loyal with training plans tailored to their personal profiles.

3. Tourism product know-how, communication and creation:

       • Analysing geographical, social, economic, political and cultural features, as well as those based on tourism area and destination resources to promote and implement sustainable tourism.
       • Analysing the impacts caused by tourism to promote the positive ones and reduce the negative ones.
       • Conducting market studies
       • Generating innovative, competitive and sustainable tourism products.
       • Ensuring our communication is effective so that we can position our tourism products properly in the market.
