• Innovators.Imserso's travels in the air after the Mundosenior resort

The acting Government on Tuesday launched a message of reassurance to pensioners who benefit from Imserso trips and also to hoteliers in the main destinations, concerned about the impact that a delay in travel, expected to travel, may have on their business October could affect between 2,500 and 3,000 jobs.

This delay is due to the struggle between the two groups of tourism companies that organize them, Mundosenior and Mundiplan. The first, formed by the union of Globalia (Falcon Travel) and Barceló (Avoris) appealed the exclusion of its offer in the allocation of sun and beach destinations, which were granted to Mundiplan.

"The Government is working from the outset so that Imserso's trips take place in a timely manner," said the Minister of Industry and Tourism, Reyes Maroto. He also said that the motives of the appeal presented by Mundosenior will be valued, but that "we must have peace of mind" because the specifications "comply with the law."

The hoteliers asked the Executive to act urgently "in the face of chaos" with the adjudication of travel and suspend "the entire contracting process with an extraordinary extension." They regret the disastrous management carried out in this regard and warn of the impact that a delay in their business would have.

In these trips 300 hotels from all over Spain participate, with 900,000 places. A delay would affect, say sources in the sector, "especially to the destinations of sun and beach, the impact on Benidorm or the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca than in Madrid, obviously." The hoteliers of Benidorm, Costa Blanca and Comunidad Valenciana (Hosbec) believe that it can affect about 60 establishments in the region, and between 2,500 and 3,000 workers.

The appeal is for the award of lot 1, which includes the Spanish coast destinations. Trips are awarded in batches: in addition to the aforementioned, there are 2 and 3, which includes trips to the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands and inland destinations. The problem is that the Mundosenior resource may cause a chain reaction, because Mundiplan (Iberia, Alsa and IAG7) could in turn resort to the allocation of lots 2 and 3 to Mundosenior. You have until September 13 to do so.
