The first ‘Benidorm Fest’ event is to take place from 26th to 29th January. According to the agreement, the City Council will contribute 200,000 euros to meet the commitments toward running the event – the winner of which will be the Spanish representative in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest that will take place in Italy.
It is hoped that the competition will boost the tourism and accommodation sector, with more than 2,000 overnight stays predicted over the course of the event.
