The 2023 Benidorm Fest will start in the first quarter of this year with the constitution of a working group between the three administrations involved: RTVE, the Generalitat Valenciana and the City Council.
The preparations for the 2023 edition begin with the forecast, whenever the pandemic allows it, that the event will expand, with more activities in the city during the week and a greater presence of Valencian artists.
โThe Benidorm Fest has been a success. A success backed by viewers, more than ten million, and above all by the atmosphere that has been created in this city. It is the moment of emotional recovery and it is the embryo of what is going to be the consolidation of the festivalโ, explained Puig. โOver the next few years, we are going to continue working with RTVE to get the most out of it. Benidorm has not only been in the news in Spain but also in the rest of Europeโ, he added.
Puig has referred to the festival as a strategic piece in “the tourist recovery of the Valencian Community and its emblem: Benidorm”. Hotel occupancy this weekend has reached 60%, which contributes to deseasonalize in a complicated time.
