Pal Arinsal has not yet reached financial equilibrium and Jordi Alcobé he believes that part of the problem is the current income sharing system. The consul major of Canillo assured the Let’s talk about it, from Diari TVthat the agreement of the four domains is “very harmful” for the Massanense station and demanded that it be renegotiated immediately. As he explained Alcobéwhen Pal Arinsal exceeds nine million euros in revenue, a part of what it generates above this threshold must be distributed within the framework of the current agreement. This makes, as he reported, that part of the investment effort of Pal Arinsal end up benefiting members who are not part of SETAP365. “Whatever enters Pal Arinsal must stay at Pal Arinsal“, he defended.

Alcobé he insisted that the problem is that the current system limits the station’s growth. yes Pal Arinsal invests to gain competitiveness and increase revenue, he argued, it makes no sense for part of the return on that investment to leave the station. “You cannot grow at the expense of the other”, he summarized, before concluding that “much of the investment effort of Pal Arinsal it must be distributed, and that is neither fair nor sustainable”.

A la carte
The consul also focused on the trade imbalance with Great value. As he explained, there are skiers who stay at the massana but they end up going skiing in Great valuejust the opposite of what was sought with the single pass. “The older brother eats the younger brother”, he said, referring to Grandvalira’s ability to attract people, which cannibalize the other domains. Therefore, SETAP365 already works to give to Pal Arinsal a more own brand and a differentiated commercial positioning. Alcobé defended that the station from Massan should not compete for the same customer that Great value and that he must be able to grow with his own identity.
Hotels and electricity
He also distributed responsibilities beyond the courts. Alcobé called for more private hotel investment in the massanaespecially in the renovation and improvement of existing establishments. In his opinion, “pistes without hotels” and “hotels without pistes” do not work, and you cannot expect everything to depend on the station. Al Government it also reserved a specific role for it, especially in the cost of energy. Alcobé he defended a differentiated tariff for the stations, taking into account the high consumption involved in the production of cultivated snow and the growing weight it will have in the coming years. As he pointed out, it is not a question of increasing profits, but of making it easier for them to face ever higher investments.
