Last Wednesday, August 2, the Official State Gazette published the call for the España Tourism Experiences program, promoted by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism. The aid line has 20 million euros from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
The purpose of this program is to promote projects involving networks of actors that develop sustainable, digital, inclusive and competitive tourist experiences in Spain, which are replicated nationally or in the territory of at least three autonomous communities.
Its objective is to develop new tourist products, improve the capacities of destinations, attract tourists to new rural or inland destinations, improve the sustainability of tourist experiences, promote the digital transition and improve resilience.
The amount of the projects financed will range between 100,000 and 1,000,000 euros. Payment of the subsidy will be made in advance for the amount of up to 100% of that part of the project budget that has been considered financeable. The deadline for submitting applications will end on September 20 at 2:00 p.m. Applications must be submitted through the electronic headquarters of the Ministry.
In the previous call, 15 public entities and Galician companies benefited from the program, receiving 1.77 million euros. Within the framework of this program, Galicia develops innovative and sustainable tourist experiences related to surfing, wine tourism, marine and thermal tourism, the coast, the sky, or related to the Camino de Santiago.
