The Pla de Mallorca Association of Municipalities has launched a tender for the supply and installation of new connected information elements to link the heritage and natural resources of the 14 municipalities in the region. This tender is for the supply, installation, and commissioning of a new smart tourist signage network. The project has a budget of €220,830.58 plus VAT and is fully funded by the European Union's Next Generation EU funds. The project details that the main objective is to transform the Pla de Mallorca region into a smart and connected destination. To achieve this, a wide variety of elements will be installed, from urban and wooden information points to steel totems, interpretive lecterns, and specific beacons for cycle tourism. All these displays will incorporate QR codes that will allow visitors to access detailed information about local culture, nature, and agriculture in three languages: Catalan, Spanish, and English. Regarding the timeline, the company in charge of the project must complete the work within a maximum period of five months from the signing of the contract, with the commitment that the entire installation will be finished before June 30, 2026.
