He also blamed the APB for not revealing their future plans for the port. Macia Blazquez said that GOB had asked Triay recently to those plans and more information, but the only resources made available were drawings of 2005, after which many development and expansion programmes were carried out. He accused that there were plans being made of a “mega expansion” scheme and stressed that such undertakings would lead to serious environmental effects.

Blazquez said that Francesc Triay had argued that the enlarged ports would accommodate more ships, which in turn would generate a lot of revenue for business in the Palma area. He also said that Paraires wharf, which would be lengthened by nearly 380 metres, the work beginning within a year, costing 23 million euros, would be exclusively used for them.

The businesses association publicised its findings after interviews with around 50 of its members. It pointed out that another factor responsible for the downturn in these figures is that the all-inclusive hotel requires the clients to pay for lodging, food and drink in advance. This leaves them with little money to spend at the other restaurants of the island. It is reported that Soller is one of the worst affected regions this season.

PIMEM, the business association of Majorca said that spending lever of the customers is considerably low. Cafés, Bars and restaurants at S’Arenal, Can Pastilla and Cala Ratjada reported serious decline in the business. At Porto Cristo in Manacor district, the association has blamed the “advance” payment of the all-inclusive hotel offer for low trade conditions.

In the capital Palma, the situation is different. People come here to sight-see in spite of bad weather and hence, the tables are filled but the spokespersons of the restaurant industry say that the levels at which the customers are ready to spend have fallen by about twenty percent.

During the nineteen seventies, Mallorca had a great influence on Mirós work and a nearly decade later, many iconic designs were selected personally by him to prepare 6 sail cloth cuttings with the intention to promote Palma. Transferring these designs onto the sailcloth was done by poster and cinematography experts.

Miró worked in Majorca for about thirty years but the Island’s first impressions had fascinated him when he came to Soller for summer holidays when he was a child.

the town will officially declare Miró “an adoptive son” on Saturday. Lot of activities are organized in honour of his life and his work. And therefore, after 26 years of the creation of those six sails, two of them will be exhibited at the railway museum, Soller permanently. In 1982, the sails were first displayed at Vienna but they had to be restored after their discovery, after which they were stored in municipal warehouses for years.

The opening of this exhibition will be coinciding with the presentation of “Moments de Miró” at the Soller Port. A statue dedicated to late Javier Mayol will be unveiled. Javier Mayol was once the president of Soller railway and passed away in a road mishap this year.

It is hoped that this exhibition will bring many visitors to Soller and benefit the bars, restaurants and other businesses in the area.

PIMECO released these data yesterday in its monthly report based on the interviews of nearly 200 businessmen situated in Majorca. It seems that the results of the Spring/Summer sales of 2008 are worse than those of Autumn/Winter and also Spring/Summer sales of 2007. Also, outside the sales periods, the trading figures have fallen by 20%. The report also shows that the success during sales in 2008, if any, at the shops in central Palma. Almost all other parts of the island had had very bad sales, and in fact, at some places, the sales in July proved to be less profitable than that of the period before the bargain period. PIMECO said this shows a clear plummeting of the profits.
