Hostel Balai, the accommodation facility owned by the Municipality of Porto Torres, after yet another unsuccessful tender, was awarded to the company Forrazzi srl, with registered office in Stintino. The company is the leader of a temporary business grouping in the process of being formed, created in collaboration with a travel agency.

The tender commission, appointed by the municipal technical office, deemed the offer admissible, closing the procedure - at the fourth public notice - with a positive evaluation that allows the concession of enhancement of the accommodation facility located in via Benedetto Croce, accepting the project to transform the hostel into a four-star hotel, consisting of approximately 30 rooms, a conference room and a wellness center.

The annual concession fee amounts to 44,380 euros, for a duration of up to 50 years. In 2022, the Sardinia Region had removed a restriction on the destination of the Hostel Balai, which can be used for hotel and restaurant activities. The structure had been purchased by the Region for the symbolic sum of one euro and contracted out to a company for a duration of 25 years starting from 2016. The removal of the restriction had induced the municipal administration to terminate the contract with the managers.
