After the summer break, holders of tourist vouchers will be able to use them again in the more than 900 participating establishments.

The deadline for new businesses to join will remain open until 1 December.

The end of the summer campaign brings several new features for those who want to continue enjoying the Galician tourist offer. This is the case of the Gastronomic Autumn, whose 16th edition starts on Friday 16 September, but also of the tourist vouchers Quedamos en Galicia 2022 (Let’s Stay in Galicia 2022), an initiative promoted by the Xunta de Galicia with the collaboration of the Cluster and businesses in the sector, which will resume on Thursday 15 September.

One of the main objectives of the tourist vouchers is to contribute to the deseasonalisation of demand by encouraging the use of travel agency services and accommodation (hotels, spas, campsites, rural tourism, etc.) during the low season. For this reason, the period for redeeming the cards given to users who registered for the campaign was suspended between 1 July and 15 September, the high season of the summer campaign. Now, once these dates have passed, Quedamos en Galicia has resumed to make available to the beneficiaries of the tourist vouchers the proposals of the more than 900 establishments that have signed up so far (the deadline for more companies to join the campaign will remain open until 1 December).

This year edition of the campaign has once again been a success, as evidenced by the more than 20,000 applications for vouchers that were registered in just 12 hours, which meant that the funds that the Xunta earmarked to finance 40% of each of these cards were quickly exhausted. The vouchers, worth 250, 375 and 500 euros, can be redeemed until 31 December.
