The Regional Government of Andalucía's initiative, spearheaded by Regional Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport, Arturo Bernal, emphasizes attracting top-tier sports tourism and showcasing the region's sporting excellence. Bernal commends the collaborative effort, noting, "Regional Government of Andalucía’s commitment underscores our strategy to attract top-level sports tourism.

Their world-class high-performance training facilities and racecourse in the centre of town are remarkable. The annual Betis-Seville Regatta sport-festival is a historical Regatta continuously growing in international recognition and interest.  Andalucía and Seville have always been an integral part of the global Rowing family. This new partnership reaffirms our bond and sets the stage for exciting future activities."
