Ongoing initiatives making Marbella even better

Local news outlets continue to report on positive initiatives relating to both infrastructure improvements for Marbella and the overall tourist industry in the area. The resort town is thriving and is certainly benefiting from the many community projects being undertaken by council authorities and the resources applied to further boost tourism.

Parking in central Marbella has previously been an issue at busy times of the year, but now the town’s mayor has announced plans for 3,300 new parking spaces as part of a programme that ‘prioritises’ pedestrians and will provide “easy, accessible and cheap parking” for residents. This is fantastic news for visitors to Marbella’s downtown shopping area, the old town and the popular seafront promenade and marina.

Similarly, sport fans and gym enthusiasts will be delighted to hear that a tender has been sent out for the maintenance and repair of 15 public sports facilities, which includes the municipal stadium and Carlos Cabezas pavilion.

The regional authorities of Andalucía are also providing further support for tourism in the area, an industry sector of great importance to the economy of Marbella. This was illustrated by the region’s doubled presence at the Fitur tourism fair in Madrid last week, which highlighted its prominence as a global destination.
