Approved projects financed by the Fund to encourage 2017 sustainable tourism

In 2017, the tax on sustainable tourism generates a total of 64 million Euros. On 16th October 2017, the Commission for the Promotion of Sustainable Tourism selected 62 new projects to be financed with this part of this revenue. Another eight projects had already been approved in 2016 and will receive 15 million Euros of 2017 tax revenue.

40 per cent of the projects meet the annual priority of “acquisition or rehabilitation of natural, historical and cultural heritage; whereas 16 per cent of the choosen projects comply with the purpose of  “diversification of the economic model”. Another 17 per cent of tax revenue are invested into projects related to improvement of natural environment and water cycle.
