Marbella ‘an ideal destination to visit, and invest’
The Mayor of Marbella, Angeles Munoz, emphasized that the city “is the ideal destination to visit, purchase a second home and invest” and that “its alliance with Kuwait strengthens its position as a world leader in excellence”. The councilor of this Spanish town, a tourist emblem of southern Europe, was received by the Spanish ambassador to Kuwait, Miguel Jose Moro, to participate in an event held at the embassy to present the Marbella Tourism Trade Mission in the Middle East, in which the Spanish Luxury Association and some of the most emblematic hotels in the municipality of the Costa del Sol participate. Munoz thanked the ambassador for his invitation and for the presence of members of the Kuwaiti Royal Family, Princess Beatrix of Orleans – honorary president of the association – businessmen and representatives of luxury travel agencies. She highlighted that Marbella “feels very close to Kuwait, because we are two destinations that have a lot in common, we have a lot to contribute, and we are going to continue working on that line of collaboration that we opened long time ago.”
The Mayor has mentioned, “the enthusiasm that the citizens of Kuwait show with Marbella is evident in the data of tourists from this market who come to our city and by the interest of investors who decide to buy homes in our town”. In this sense, he recalled that Marbella’s link with Kuwait dates back to the early 80s of the last century, when Kuwaitis who began to invest for the first time in the Spanish economy discovered that Marbella “was the ideal place to spend their holidays and also to buy a second home and do business”. “And that alliance has been growing over all these years,” she said. Munoz mentioned the fact that Marbella “is a benchmark of excellence and a synonym of quality, with a privileged tourist offer that has positioned them as a unique destination, the result of the hard work between the City Council and the private sector, which we continue developing because our purpose is always to improve ourselves, to continue moving forward and to continue meeting the expectations of all those who visit us and who, in most cases, they repeat.”
“Our fantastic climate, our 27 kilometers of coastline with a unique promenade, our natural environment and our rich history, which are combined with the extensive range of golf courses, the presence of the best commercial brands and the nautical offer, help you to visit us”. “As well as the opportunities for leisure and our excellent gastronomy, with more than a thousand restaurants, with traditional and international cuisine, and the privilege of having five Michelin stars, the city in Andalusia with the highest number of these awards,” said the Mayor.
“In addition, large brands in the tourism sector choose us to invest, to undertake new adventures or to expand their hotel offer, within alliances that generate wealth and employment”. “Our hotel offer is a real luxury”, said Munoz, who thanked the hotels participating in this trade mission – Meliá Don Pepe, Hard Rock, Boho Club, Alanda and La Quinta – for their “firm commitment to Marbella and their support for “a brand that is a guarantee of the quality of life”.
