• The President of the Generalitat announces this measure to stimulate domestic consumption in the face of the closure of international markets

  • Valencian tourism prepares to hit rock bottom

The President of the Generalitat,

Ximo Puig

, announced in the Debate on General Policy this Monday the launch of a tourist voucher for those registered in the Valencian Community.

Specifically,

there will be up to 70% discounts (and that can reach 600 euros)

both in tourist accommodation and in services of associated travel agencies, yet to be specified.

Puig's proposal is part of an injection of almost 200 million euros to sell the Valencian Community as a safe tourist destination.

It also involves imitating the measures that other European countries have put in place

, such as Italy or the United Kingdom, where the Government is offering vouchers for consuming in restaurants.

The generalized quarantine situation to Spain from its main tourist suppliers, such as the United Kingdom,

has caused a precipitous fall in the outlook for the off-season

, since the British market and subsidized travel for the elderly (Imserso) are the main factors of seasonal adjustment of cities like Benidorm.

The Community's own client is also the main national tourist in the region, so this measure

seems to seek to stimulate demand during short periods such as long weekends or weekends.

Precisely this Sunday the general director of Destinia, Ricardo Fernández, requested in an interview granted in this newspaper that the central Executive launch some type of measure of this type to be able to keep a part of the businesses open: "It is not about spending but rather to invest in a healthy and rapid recovery that brings wealth to the country as a whole. "
