Published by Spain’s Ministry of Industry and Tourism in June 2022, the Modernization and Competitiveness Plan aims to recover and transform Spain’s tourism sector, leveraging funds from the European Union’s Next Generation EU program. It intends to modernize and enhance the competitiveness of the tourism sector, ensuring its sustainability and resilience.

This strategy focuses on promoting sustainable practices within the tourism industry, upgrading infrastructure, and improving services. In particular, it details specific actions under each program, including initiatives to reduce the environmental footprint of tourism and promote eco-friendly practices, projects to enhance digital infrastructure and capabilities in tourism, and measures to support tourism in regions heavily affected by external shocks. 

The plan plays a crucial role in stimulating economic growth, attracting tourists, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the industry.
