The Maspalomas Gran Canaria Consortium, chaired by Marco Aurelio Pérez, will face the 2026 fiscal year with a total budget of €2,1 million, exactly the same figure as in 2025, according to the final approval obtained by Maspalomas24H. The overall stability of the accounts, however, masks significant changes in the spending structure, pointing to a shift towards operational rather than investment-oriented spending in one of the main tourist destinations in the south of the island. Investors who expect to learn about the destination's renewal strategy at Fitur Madrid will gain access to data on spending priorities for the coming year.
In its income statement, the Consortium maintains a virtually unchanged structure. The entire budget comes from non-financial operations, with €2 million in current operations and €100.000 in capital operations. There is no income from direct or indirect taxes, fees, public prices, or property income. 100% of the current income—€2 million—is received via current transfers, while capital transfers provide the €100.000 allocated for investment. The Consortium once again closes the fiscal year without resorting to debt or financial operations, either through assets or liabilities.
The statement of expenditure more clearly reflects the strategy for 2026. Of the 2,1 million euros, 2 million are allocated to current operations, which represents 95,25% of the budget in 2025 and becomes 100% of non-financial operations in 2026, with real investments remaining at 100.000 euros, equivalent to 4,76% of the total.
The most significant adjustment is in the personnel budget. Spending on personnel decreases from €999.910 in 2025 to €848.000 in 2026, a reduction of €151.910, which translates to a drop from 47,61% of the total budget to 40,38%. At the same time, the Consortium significantly increases spending on current goods and services, which rises from €941.996,30 to €1.093.900, now representing 52,09% of the budget, compared to 44,86% in the previous year. Financial expenses remain stable at €50.000 (2,38%), while the contingency fund barely changes at €8.100, or 0,39% of the total.
Real investments remain frozen at 100.000 euros, with no capital transfers or new strategic investment items, confirming a prudent and low-profile investment approach in a context of high pressure on the Maspalomas tourist area.
The staff remains structurally stable, with management, technical, administrative, support, and junior positions, reflecting a compact organizational model without significant expansion. Budget approval is the responsibility of the Governing Board, in accordance with the Consortium's bylaws, which are part of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana Consortium.
The Implementing Guidelines replicate the classic regulatory framework for local government, with particular emphasis on expenditure control, legal binding by budget chapter, limitations on budget modifications, and a restrictive use of treasury surpluses to preserve budgetary stability. Of particular note is the explicit caution regarding the potential negative impact of incorporating surpluses on the principle of stability, reinforcing the interpretation of a budget designed to mitigate risks rather than expand.
The document closes with the signature of the Consortium's president, Marco Aurelio Pérez Sánchez, dated December 18, 2025, confirming a budget that, beyond its overall unchanged figure, reveals a reduction in personnel spending and a greater dependence on external services as a response to the complex management of the main tourist hub in southern Gran Canaria.
