The general manager of the Congress Center, Ramón Vidal, stated that "I am convinced that Art Fair Mallorca will provide a series of benefits for our city, and the Congress Center is undoubtedly the best showcase to strengthen its positive impact. For this reason, we will put all our efforts to contribute to its success and to promote the international positioning of Palma as a cultural destination, one of the main objectives for the tourist diversification of our city ".
The director of Art Fair Mallorca, Matthias Rüthmüller, said that "the magnificent architecture of the Congress Center and its luminous exhibition area of 3000 m2 guarantee the success of this world-class Art Fair".
