Is it me or have I missed something? Over the past couple of weeks reading through the local newspapers and online community websites there has been much reported on individual investment events such as cash for a new hospital and health care services, more cash for the airport and the recent visits from billionaire real estate investors Aga Khan and Tom Barrack.

Add all this together and you get nearly 100 million euros of regional investment and the original architect and the current chief of the famous Costa Smeralda both taking a serious look at Alghero’s potential. None of the local journalists seem to be putting all of this together and asking the obvious question. What’s going on?

For sure Alghero is now in a situation of needing some serious commercial investment in tourist infrastructure such as hotels and golf courses to meet the increasing numbers and demands of foreign tourists visiting Alghero. I get the feeling that the events of the past few weeks could be the signal of big things ahead.
