Tourism proposes distributing 235,743 euros of the 750,000 against depopulation

Turisme Comunitat Valenciana has proposed granting aid to 17 tourism companies located in municipalities at risk of depopulation for a combined amount of 235,743.45 euros, within the 750,000 euro call for the 2026 financial year. The provisional resolution proposal, signed by the director of the organization, Israel Martínez Fernández, and dated November 1, 2026, is published in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV) no. 10491, of November 11, 2026, with the official identifier DOGV-C-2026-34927.

The starting call is the Resolution of June 9, 2026, from the Presidency of Turisme Comunitat Valenciana, published in the DOGV no. 10386, of June 17, 2026. This is program 3 of aid to companies for the promotion of tourism activity in municipalities at risk of depopulation, endowed with a maximum global amount of 750,000 euros charged to program 33, subprogram 339, “Aid to the tourism sector in depopulated municipalities,” of chapter IV of the 2026 budget.

The regulatory framework is completed by Decree 4/2017, of March 31, of the president of the Generalitat, on the regulatory bases for aid to the tourism sector, modified by Decree 6/2023, of April 26; Law 1/2015 on the public treasury of the Generalitat; Law 38/2003, of November 17, general on subsidies, and its regulation. The competence to issue the proposal corresponds to the director of the organization according to Decree 7/2020, of January 17.

Evaluation: 75% of the cost and a ceiling of 37,500 euros

The Aid Evaluation Commission met on October 27, 2026, and approved the scoring and ordering of the applications in accordance with the criteria of article 9 and annex II of the call. The applied aid intensity is 75% of the eligible cost, and the maximum amount per beneficiary entity cannot exceed 37,500 euros.

According to the agreement of the collegiate body, the program’s budget allocation is sufficient to meet all favorably evaluated applications, so the priority criterion for lack of credit is not applied. Of the 750,000 euros called, the proposal commits 235,743.45 euros.

Conditional aid and ten days to appeal

The commission noted that 16 of the 17 favorable files are up to date with their tax and Social Security obligations. The exception is Ruralgimia, S.L. (DOV-1-26, NIF B-97384184), with a negative result from the AEAT: the aid is conditional upon proving this circumstance before the final resolution, under penalty of denial.

The only proposed beneficiary above 30,000 euros —Progevita, S.L., with 37,361.83 euros— must also demonstrate compliance with the payment deadlines of Law 3/2004 regarding delinquency, in accordance with article 13.3 bis of Law 38/2003.

Publication in the DOGV serves as notification and opens a period of ten business days starting from the following day to submit allegations and supporting documentation. The effectiveness of the grants is subject to the obligations of article 13 of the call, the justification of expenses in article 15, and the promotion of the Turisme Comunitat Valenciana emblem.

The distribution primarily benefits the interior of Castellón —Els Ports, el Maestrat, Morella, Montanejos, la Tinença de Benifassà—, also featuring projects from Rincón de Ademuz and the Valencian region of Cofrentes. For the SMEs and town councils of these areas, the proposal clears the uncertainty of a line whose credit remains mostly free: 514,256.55 euros of the 750,000 called for are not assigned in this provisional phase.
