Through Regional Government Council Resolution No. 486/2026, a development and cooperation protocol was authorized with the Madeira Classic Car Club. The financial support, totaling €287,500.00, is intended for five tourism promotion initiatives:
The project aims to strengthen Madeira's projection as a tourist destination of excellence and boost the local economy during the execution period, which runs from May to July 2026.
The Regional Government approved grants of up to €6,000 for MARIOFA - Festival of Puppetry and Other Animated Forms, and up to €60,000 for the EHF Champions Cup 2026. The agreements support events planned for Funchal, Calheta and Porto Santo.
The Regional Government has approved the expansion of the Quinta do Furão Rural Hotel in Santana, authorising an increase in capacity from 65 to 75 accommodation units and from 134 to 154 beds. Licensing is conditional on compliance with the functional, environmental and regulatory measures set out in the project.
The Regional Government has approved up to €37,000 in funding for Seixal Naval Club to organise the Canyoning Madeira Meeting and the Mountain Bike Madeira Meeting. The funding will be paid in two instalments between 2026 and 2027.
