The Don Carlos, in Peniscola, pulled down the shade this year throughout the winter season for the first time in 35 years. With 80 rooms, in the past had stopped working a few weeks to work or take vacation to the template. "This year we have closed directly all season: November to March," explains Javier Gallego, CEO of ZT Hotels, the chain that owns this property. The crisis tightens, but which finally drown many hoteliers was the lack of customers Imserso.
With a 30% cut in the budget of the public program travel for pensioners, and the delay in the organization, the patch came too late Imserso many coastal resorts, which closed its doors and sent their workers to unemployment waiting for the good weather. Employers and unions warn of strong employment impact of the snip and experts warn that these trips is firing reduce the seasonality of many destinations.

"Hotels have never made money with Imserso. Our goal is not that. The aim is to reduce the maximum losses weakest season, and avoid having to close and send people to stop. " So Gallego summarizes what the pinch at places Imserso means for hoteliers. "The worst part has been the template. In strict order of seniority recolocamos we could in the other hotels. But many left to stop "he admits. Industrial laundries, bus drivers, souvenir shops ... Everyone gets a hangover when a hotel closes. Near Don Carlos, is a pharmacy that has had less work than usual this winter, and which counted among its patrons travelers with pensioners.
The Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation ensures that if this hotel is not far from unique. Between November and January, said its president, Juan Molas, closed between 10% and 30% more hotels than last year, according to the area. "In February and March have been sold well remaining squares. But not going to compensate the lost time, "he laments. Easter, moreover, falls in March and in the absence of high temperatures will not be the panacea.
The Ministry of Health and Social Services, which oversees the Imserso, decided to cut the budget this social tourism by 30%, from 103 million in the 2011-2012 season to 70.5 million for 2012-2013. The visits recorded in many coastal areas in winter lose interest for foreign tourists, has suffered a huge blow. According to the National Statistics Institute, the overnight stays in the Almeria coast in January fell by 37% over 2012. In Murcia and the Costa Blanca were reduced by more than 15%, and the Costa Brava, 20.1%.
The government admits that recovers all invested in tourism plan, but does not save the scissors
The program offered this season Imserso 896 666 places in total, almost 120,000 fewer than a year earlier. The program also began operations in November, almost a month later than usual, so many hotels, with uncertainty, they decided not to wait to know how many seats and threw the shutter count until spring. Some chains have pensioners Imserso second shift, from March to June, but do not know if there is time.
Although the state provides 70.5 million travelers will also pay a total of about 240 million euros. A trip of between one and two weeks to pensioners costs between 116 and 528 euros. In the tourism sector fleet for some years a statement: "For every euro invested in Imserso, the return is a euro and a half." I say to the employers. They say in hotels and travel agencies. And they repeat the unions.
Packages include full board and activities, so the waste of pensioners is usually the minimum. But if they fill a hotel, avoiding unemployment benefits, the hotel will pay taxes and hire services. Surprisingly, even from sharp recognize that the ministry is not a spending program, but just the opposite: "The employment generated directly affects the income of public administration," said the Imserso email. "Public administrations recover the full amount invested by the Imserso, ensuring financial sustainability of this source of employment," he admits. But the cut was not spared.
Albert Grau, tourism consultancy Magma TRI, warns that the lack of demand in winter increases the rotation of the templates, which can affect the professionalism and quality in the long run. It also implies a return to greater seasonality of many tourist areas.
