The contract with Nowhere Else - Turismo Rural, Lda. was terminated due to definitive failure to meet contractual obligations.
The Regional Government Council determined, through Resolution no. 233/2026, the sanctioning termination of the concession contract for the Forte de São João Baptista, signed in 2018 with the company Nowhere Else - Turismo Rural, Lda.
The decision is based on the definitive non-compliance attributable to the concessionaire, which did not start the commercial operation of the property nor carried out the mandatory adaptation works, despite having benefited from extended deadlines. As a consequence, the loss of the security deposit provided in favor of the Autonomous Region of Madeira was declared. The company exercised its right to a prior hearing in March 2026, and the final decision was based on the terms of the Public Procurement Code.
The Regional Government Council has authorized financial support for the Vespas Maradas Association for the 'Madeira a Vespar 2026' event.
ADESCA - Social and Cultural Development Association of Camacha receives financial support for the ethnographic event taking place in July.
The Madeira Classic Car Club receives regional support for five sporting events between May and July 2026.
