The Provincial Council finalizes the tourism grants of program DP0030

The Provincial Council of A Coruña has formally approved the final granting of subsidies under program DP0030, aimed at management bodies, associations, associations of municipalities, and tourism consortia for the improvement of quality, competitiveness, and tourism activities for 2026. The resolution, signed by president Valentín González Formoso, was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña number 164 on August 28, 2026, under announcement 2026/5619.

The final resolution, number 37277 of August 24, 2026, closes the procedure opened with the provisional grant (resolution 28922 of June 26, 2026, published in the BOP on July 1). The file was processed under reference 2025000035017, and the total amount granted amounts to €2,240,758.00 distributed among 19 applications, with none discarded.

Accepted allegations and reformulations

During the 10-business-day period opened after the provisional resolution, applicants could withdraw, reformulate, change the objective, or present allegations. Allegations from four entities were positively informed:

• Clúster Turismo de Galicia
• Mancomunidade Ría de Arousa Zona Norte
• Asociación de Concellos para a Xestión da Comarca do Eume
• CMAT (Costa da Morte Asociación Turística)

The Asociación de Concellos para a Xestión da Comarca do Eume requested a reduction in the amount, a reformulation that did not affect the total score. The nine entities provisionally granted on a conditional basis validly amended the required aspects, therefore the final granting of the contribution was proposed.

The 19 beneficiary entities
