The Council of Ministers has given the green light this Tuesday to the advance financing of various tourism promotion actions that will be carried out by the Tourism Departments of Spain abroad during the first quarter of 2027, using remaining credits corresponding to the 2026 fiscal year.
Thanks to this decision, 3.36 million euros will be made available to the Departments from the start of the year, so they can immediately launch their promotional actions in the main issuing markets, avoiding the usual delays derived from the ordinary processing of payments to be justified.
Among the initiatives that will be developed are specialized press trips, digital marketing campaigns, presentations aimed at tourism agents, training programs for sector professionals, market studies, and participation in joint actions with international tourism operators.
With this measure, the Executive seeks to strengthen Spain's international projection as a destination, promote the early capture of visitors, favor the de-seasonalization of demand, and geographically diversify tourism flows.
At the same time, the continuity of more than 2,600 promotional actions that the Departments agree on each year with autonomous communities, local administrations, and international partners is guaranteed, allowing for more effective planning and better execution of campaigns abroad.
