Grants for Tourism and Hospitality: End-to-End Management

It depends on the programme and the region. Kit Digital provides between €3,000 and €29,000 for digitalisation. Under the regional energy efficiency programmes of PRTR Component 14, amounts run from €25,000 for projects in the Madrid region (with a ceiling of €300,000) to €70,000 in Extremadura. In Galicia, the TU503A programme covers up to 60% of investment of up to €100,000. By combining Kit Digital, energy efficiency and FUNDAE training, a tourism SME can draw on several programmes without any incompatibility between them.

Yes, and they also have an extra layer of funding: LEADER support, co-funded at 63% by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (FEADER). These grants reach €100,000 for SMEs in rural municipalities (generally under 10,000 inhabitants) and are compatible with other national and regional programmes. Rural guest houses, farm stays and campsites in LEADER areas can combine this funding with Kit Digital and the energy efficiency programmes of their own region.

In general, yes. Kit Digital funds digitalisation (software, website, booking, CRM) and the energy efficiency programmes fund physical work (HVAC, lighting, solar energy). As these are different measures with separate budgets, there is no incompatibility. Each programme has its own State aid rules: it is worth checking that the total support received per company stays within the limits set. Tecnocim coordinates the combination strategy to maximise total funding while meeting every legal requirement.

Yes. Training funded through FUNDAE is open to any company with employees registered with Spanish Social Security, hospitality and tourism included. Companies with 1 to 9 employees have a credit covering 100% of the training levy, which means training at no net cost. Under the PRTR, FUNDAE has launched calls specific to the tourism sector, focused on digitalisation and sustainability, with the aim of 825,000 workers completing training programmes. The areas most in demand include digital hotel management, languages, cybersecurity and customer service.

Documentation varies from one programme to another, but the usual requirements are: the certificate of entry on the regional tourism register, accounting records (the latest annual accounts or tax returns), quotes for the planned works, the technical report for the project, and the energy performance certificate of the building for sustainability programmes. For Kit Digital, completing the self-assessment at acelerapyme.gob.es is enough. Tecnocim prepares all the documentation so that the team at the establishment spends as little time as possible on paperwork.
