The Generalitat Valenciana strengthen tourism programs to “incorporate the concept of Health” in brands of Valencia
The Generalitat Valenciana try to boost the tourist sector by exploring its condition of going out for mental health after a hard year of pandemic. If first it was the bono turstico, which during the autumn offers the possibility of getting away throughout the community to disconnect from the restrictions, now it is intended to promote health tourism to combat mental wear. This has been announced by the autonomous Secretary of Tourism, Francesc Colomer, during the inauguration of the first International Congress of Tourism and welfare of the Costa Blanca.
“The post-Covid world exalts life, time, health and well-being. If we do not give importance to these issues, we will have learned nothing. That is why it is essential to incorporate the concept of Health to Valencian tourist brands”, argument Colomer.
In this sense, tourism increase the specific promotion of health products, both independently and complement other destinations. In addition, create working groups with specific destinations and companies in health tourism to take advantage of the opportunity to attract European funds.
The path is marked by international experiences that have been developed in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Turkey or Croatia, which could be enhanced with the development of wellness that is expected after the pandemic.
Hoteliers ask for ERTES at 100%
While the vas of post-covid tourism are drawn, the sector tries to stay alive and no longer trusts that summer is its salvation. For this reason, the Valencian hotel association (Hosbec) has asked the government for a new ERTE model with a 100% bonus% that can guarantee the survival of the establishments.
Hotels ensure that its recovery is delayed “irretrievably” until the autumn delays in vaccinationhe considers that” it is not acceptable ” that the hotel and tourism industry should not be given special treatment in the upcoming negotiation of the ERTE system to come into force on June 1.
In this sense, they demand that those who prove to have been without activity for at least 12 months since March 14, 2020 and that they have to remain closed “have to see their social contributions subsidized for all workers who are in ERTE at 100%” regardless of the size of the company. That will be the only measure that will avoid ” entering massive processes of insolvency proceedings, bankruptcies or approaches of being extinguished by inability to sustain the jobs while a recovery of mobility arrives”.
