The measure to allocate €30 million in favour of Lombardy’s tourism sector was approved by the Regional Council at the proposal of the Councillor for Tourism, Territorial Marketing and Fashion, Lara Magoni. In the near future, in fact, this area will be even more crucial. “Also in view of the important international events that await us, from Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture to the 2026 Olympics,” said Lara Magoni. “I hope that the sector’s operators will be able to seize this opportunity at once”.
Who will benefit from the funds
The accommodation facilities to which this aid is addressed are micro, small and medium-sized enterprises: in particular hotel accommodation facilities (hotels, tourist hotel residences, condhotels) and non-hotel accommodation facilities (tourist villages, campsites, rest areas, guesthouses, inns, holiday flat houses in entrepreneurial form, refuges, youth hostels, holiday homes). The non-repayable subsidy will cover up to 50 per cent of the expenses incurred in accordance with the applicable aid scheme. Eligible expenses include furniture, machinery, hardware and software equipment, building-masonry works, and installations.
“The measure aims to promote investments for the competitive and sustainable development of tourism enterprises. Resources needed to qualitatively raise the accommodation offer of our region; and at the same time help entrepreneurs grappling with high bills, already severely tested by the years of the pandemic crisis“, added regional councillor Lara Magoni.
