The Galician Tourism Cluster reminds us that the application period is still open for extraordinary aid from the Galician Institute for Economic Promotion (Igape) for commercial, industrial, tourism, and business establishments damaged by this summer’s forest fires. The application period will close next Tuesday, September 30th, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
These contributions cover repairs or replacements of buildings, facilities, machinery, merchandise, and vehicles related to the activity. The maximum amount established is €600,000 per beneficiary, extendable to €1.5 million in exceptional cases where a significant socioeconomic impact or the need to maintain employment is proven.
Applications must be submitted online through the electronic site (procedure code IG100A). Both individuals and legal entities operating businesses in the affected areas are eligible, with the exception of agricultural, livestock, or forestry operations.
This assistance is complementary to other existing compensation programs, with the goal of covering 100% of certified damages. Payment will be made in a single payment by bank transfer after a favorable decision.
