The Government of Ibiza(Consell) has declared to establish a department of Music last week. This initiative, by president Xico Tarres, has as objective to regulate the Ibiza clubs and promote them officially during the Tourism and Holiday Fairs. Thus far the Consell never promoted the island's discotheques.
It uses to promote the UNESCO status of D'Alt Vila,its nature, its beaches and everything else Ibiza has to offer,except its clubs. Reason was that the Consell tried to change the island's image as a clubbing paradise and tended to show all its other resources. Like this it always seemed that the Consell was sort of hiding the island's clubbing activities officially.
Apparently a shift in policy has taken place. The Association of Club owners is delighted with the Consell's initiative and welcomes the official support. However it is not the intention that taxpayer's money is spent on active promotion of clubs. The step is more seen as a recognition of Ibiza's clubs and thus as an institutional support.
