Turisme Comunitat Valenciana registers, so far this year, a total of 12.071 reservations made through the Travel Voucher, corresponding to the second period of the Viatgem CV program, and joining the 9.157 reservations made during the last quarter of 2020 .
Likewise, these reservations made from January to March are, for the most part, for trips between the next months of April and June, taking advantage of the extra period that the Generalitat has granted to this second period of the program, which extends until mid-June , due to perimeter restrictions in recent weeks.
Among the destinations most in demand by users of the Travel Voucher is Xàbia along with the towns of Benidorm, Finestrat, Altea, Calp, Benimantell, Alicante, Peñíscola, Morella and the city of Valencia.
According to the regional secretary for Tourism, Francesc Colomer, "During this second period of the Viatgem Comunitat Valenciana program, we have already distributed more than 17.000 vouchers, and we have a waiting list of more than 37.700 people."
Once again, Colomer thanked the great acceptance of this initiative which, in his opinion, "It highlights the dynamization of internal tourism in the Valencian Community at a time when the sector needs it most".
Beneficiaries for Travel Bonus, average stay and member companies
According to the data managed by Turisme to date, the more than 12.000 reservations will benefit more than 36.000 people residing in the Valencian Community. This figure responds to the general average of three people per trip reservation. Remember that the minimum travel group required by the voucher is two people.
However, Colomer has indicated that these figures will increase as more bonds are distributed and more reservations are made. The program is endowed with 12 million euros for the two periods of 2021: from January 1 to June 15 and from September 15 to December 31.
In addition, the average stay of the aforementioned reservations will exceed three nights in all types of accommodation, being much higher in campsites, which will reach an average of twelve nights, or in tourist homes, which will exceed six.
For hotels, the average stay will be more than four nights. In the same way, 48,8% of the users of this travel voucher will make stays outside the weekend, which represents a significant revitalization of the tourism sector.
The most popular type of accommodation is the hotel with about 78% of the total reservations, followed by rural accommodation, which accounts for more than 10% of the total number of reservations.
On the other hand, the regional secretary for Tourism has emphasized the high bundling of reserves, "which means that users are not limited to enjoying the accommodation, but include all kinds of services that benefit other sectors directly and indirectly."
"These are results that can contribute to the resistance of small and medium-sized companies that offer tourist experiences of all kinds in the Region", has added.
In addition, he wanted to emphasize that "We have 1.410 member companies and nearly 70% of the grants granted and justified in this second period have already been paid, corresponding to the 1.297 reservations already made and enjoyed from January to March, which represents an important direct injection to the sector tourist".
Travel Bonus: terms and operation of the waiting list
It is a 70% discount voucher to travel through the three provinces, with the aim of stimulating the demand for internal tourist services in periods of seasonality given the negative socio-economic effects caused by COVID-19.
This second period of the Viatgem CV program was launched on January 1 and will run until June 15 through the bonoviajecv.gva.es platform.
It should be remembered that each Travel Voucher issued by Turisme Comunitat Valenciana supposes a credit reserve of 600 euros, in the event that the reservation is not formalized within 7 days or the maximum amount is not exhausted when applying the 70% discount , more codes are released and more bonuses are awarded in order of the waiting list. At the moment, the waiting list goes by number 17.167.
With what it costs to make a name and an image in the world of tourism and you start with bullshit like Xabia. Keep going. The other tourist destinations will appreciate it.
Moniato fa mooooolts anys that diguem Xàbia i ens va més que bé. To plorar to the ploreria.
Since October I have not seen my daughter living and working outside the community but during all this time I see an incessant coming and going of foreigners, only the nationals and more specifically the Madrilenians infect us?
Gang of incompetents, what a way to screw it up, that way we never end up with the Bug, EVER
I no longer clear up.
On the one hand, we have restricted our freedom of movement, curfew, opening limitations, capacity, ... and an endless number of measures to prevent and stop the spread of the coronavirus. And that's fine with me.
But on the other, they encourage us to travel.
I do not understand,
I thought that the lack of coordination only occurred between the different autonomies, but, apparently, there is also no coordination between the different Councils of the Generalitat.
