More than a hundred companies and professionals benefited from the initiative launched in September last year.

More than a hundred travel agencies and professionals in the sector have benefited from the call for subsidies opened in September last year by the Galicia Tourism Agency to help maintain these businesses. This has just been made public by the agency dependent on the Xunta de Galicia through a resolution published in the Official Journal of Galicia (DOG)which details both the list of beneficiaries and the amount granted to each of them.

This new call was publicly presented by the director of Galicia Tourims, Nava Castro; the president of the Galicia Tourism Cluster, Cesáreo Pardal, and the president of the Galician Association of Travel Agencies (AGAVI), Juan Rivadulla, in an event held in Cambre in mid-September last year. The total budget of 350,000 euros provided continuity to a first action in the same field financed with 1.2 million euros.

This second call for proposals has been fully covered and most of the 350,000 euros allocated to it has been used by the beneficiaries to pay part of the rental costs of their business premises. Only in three cases was it used to pay mortgage costs, and in another two to pay both. There has been more diversity in terms of the amounts received, which have ranged from 180 to 38,400 euros, as can be seen in the list published in the DOG.
