The Xacobeo Xove program was born with the aim of bringing the experience of the Camino de Santiago closer to youth. From July 1, all those people who are between 18 and 30 years old and have an active Xove Card (Eyca number) can now request a discount of 200 euros on services linked to the Xacobean Routes.
Each beneficiary will be able to enjoy a single discount, which will be linked to the Xove Card number. The cost of the entire trip must be, without the discount, at least 300 euros. In other words, to obtain the aid, the beneficiaries must provide co-financing of at least 100 euros. To this will be added the help of the initiative, of 200 euros.
The trips can be made between July 1 and December 10, as long as the purchase of the tourist package is made before November 30. Requests will be dealt with in order of purchase until budgetary availability is exhausted.
The experience will be acquired through the Galician retail travel agencies that are registered in the program. If you have a travel agency and want to be part of this initiative, to request your participation you just have to complete the form that is at the end of the official project page.
So far, 3 companies have already been confirmed: Simply Galicia, Tee Travel and Yu Travel Destination. The list of member agencies will be updated as more entities join the initiative. You can consult the list through the website of the Xacobeo Xove program.
The Xacobeo Xove program is an initiative of the Galician Tourism Agency in collaboration with the Galician Tourism Cluster, the Galician Travel Association (AGAVI), the Galician Incoming Tour Operators Association (ATREGA), the Provincial Association of Viajes de Pontevedra (AVIPO), and the Ministry of Social Policy and Youth.
