Imserso social tourism program implementation

Overview

The Imserso social tourism program for the 2026-2027 season is preparing for its commercialization phase, offering 879,213 places across coastal, island, and cultural destinations. The program maintains a 50-euro rate for low-income pensioners and includes specific quotas for individuals receiving non-contributory pensions.

While the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and 2030 Agenda has released specific reservation calendars—such as those for the Canary Islands starting in mid-September—the program faces opposition from the hospitality sector. The hotel association Hosbec has warned that frozen government tariffs and rising operating costs make participation unsustainable, potentially leading to winter closures. Regional authorities, including the Generalitat Valenciana, have supported hotel owners, with Industry Minister Marián Cano accusing the central government of ‘condemning to death’ the program by failing to adjust economic conditions to current realities.
