Tourism increases tourism positioning grants for 2026 to five million

Turisme Comunitat Valenciana is increasing by 1,000,000 euros the available credit for grants aimed at improving the positioning of the tourism sector for 2026, program 1, such that the maximum global amount increases from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 euros. The decision was adopted by the president of the organization, Marian Cano García, through the Resolution of September 24, 2026, whose extract is published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV) no. 10463, of October 1, 2026, with official reference DOGV-C-2026-30588. The full text of the resolution had been published two days earlier, in DOGV no. 10461, of September 29, 2026 (DOGV-C-2026-30466).

The original call was approved by the Resolution of March 23, 2026, of the Presidency of Turisme Comunitat Valenciana, under program 1 “Boosting the positioning of the tourism sector for the year 2026”. It is aimed at tourism companies in the Comunitat Valenciana that develop projects oriented towards the positioning of the tourism sector during 2026. In its third article, an initial credit of 4,000,000 euros was established, charged to the budget line S0357 “Boosting tourism competitiveness”, from chapter IV of the organization’s budget for the 2026 financial year.

An expansion already foreseen in the guidelines

The same third article of the call contemplated that this amount could “be increased by a generation, expansion, or incorporation of credit at any time prior to the granting in order to address a greater number of applications”. The enabled route is a resolution by the president of Turisme Comunitat Valenciana, without the need to open a new application period or issue a new call, in accordance with article 5.8 of Decree 4/2017.

The resolution justifies the measure based on the increase in applications submitted in this call compared to previous years, with the objective of being able to address a greater number of them.

The resulting budget item

Following the expansion, the item allocated to the call is as follows:

• Line code: S0357 “Boosting tourism competitiveness”.
• Expenditure chapter: IV.
• Initial credit: 4,000,000 euros.
• Approved expansion: 1,000,000 euros.
• Maximum global amount allocated: 5,000,000.00 euros.

Publication and appeals

The extract is disseminated under articles 17.3.b) and 20.8.a) of Law 38/2003, of November 17, general law on subsidies, and is identified in the National Subsidy Database with number 895175, where the full text of the call can be consulted.

Against the resolution, which exhausts administrative remedies, a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the contentious-administrative courts within two months from the day following its notification, or an appeal for reversal (recurso de reposición) may be filed before the body that issued the act within one month, pursuant to articles 112, 123, and 124 of Law 39/2015 and articles 8, 14, and 46 of Law 29/1998. The filing of an appeal for reversal precludes recourse to the contentious-administrative route until it is expressly resolved or dismissed by administrative silence.

The extension reinforces the available public funding for tourism promotion and competitiveness projects in the Comunitat Valenciana in a fiscal year with higher demand for aid than in previous calls, which increases the number of companies in the sector that may apply for financing for their positioning activities.
