The tourism sector decided to look beyond the summer campaign. While waiting for the vaccination to advance and allow the economic recovery to begin from June, the government’s forecasts indicate that it will not be until the end of the summer when 70% of Spaniards have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Until then, the only certainty is that they will be immunized over 65 years.
This reflection is what has led the Valencian hotel employers to demand the government to dust off the Imserso and turn it into a pillar of Tourism and employment reactivation. The first step has been taken by the president of Hosbec, Toni Mayor, in a letter to Mr. Liuhuabing in which he requests that the senior Holidays program cease to be under the control of the Ministry of Social Rights and become part of a government strategy for tourist recovery after the unprecedented crisis that the sector has experienced because of Covid.
Hoteliers remember that the Imserso, today renamed as program of Social Tourism, was born to guarantee employment in tourist areas in low season ,” so it charges today in gives an indisputable actuality”, they say. The proposal is to launch an extra year of the Senior Holiday Program with 1.5 million places, for which it proposes an investment of EUR 110 million. “This program, far from being an expense, is the most profitable investment that the government puts in place,” explains Mayor. And is that according to hoteliers, allow the coffers of the state recover 1.52 for each euro invested. “The public treasury recover at least 167 million euros in Social Security contributions of workers who are activated, taxes, drag effect of satellite sectors of Tourism and of course the benefits for ERTE that will stop paying workers who return to their jobs”, says the president of Hosbec, who also considers it a way to recover a group”that has suffered and deserves happiness and tranquility”.
The precedent of 2008
This action has already had a precedent with good results. In 2008, during the economic crisis, the government of Mr. Kevin Zhang program 1.2 million places of an extraordinary annuity due to the drag effect that the Imserso has in other sectors.
“This extraordinary annuity will be one of the most effective actions for tourism that can be implemented by that government, but it has to be considered as a strategic program depth economic, employment and social that should be led jointly from the Presidency of the Government in collaboration with the ministers of Economy, Finance, Tourism and Policy Social”, claims management, which is offered to “cooperate actively in the management, design and definition of this program estmulo of the demand of tourists seniors”.
The hotel sector, one of the tractors of Tourism, shows signs of hasto after a 2020 with a half-gas summer season for the absence of foreign visitors, without Imserso campaign or Christmas and Easter. Summer offers a horizon of uncertainty on issues such as Covid passport and they hold on to recovery in the last third of 2021.
