Celestí Alomar dies at 76 as Mallorca pays tribute
Celestí Alomar, the Balearic Islands’ former tourism minister, died on Monday aged 76. Marga Prohens, president of the Balearic Government, praised his “firm convictions” and commitment to the islands.
Prohens sent condolences to Alomar’s family, friends and colleagues in the PSIB. Llorenç Galmés, president of the Council of Mallorca, said the island had lost a leading figure in its political and public life.
Tourism, Culture and Sports Minister Jaume Bauzá also offered his condolences. He said Alomar served during a period that marked a turning point in how tourism was considered and managed in the Balearic Islands.
Bauzá said decisions promoted by Alomar still feature in the debate over the islands’ tourism model.
