Tourism employers are requesting the government to return to vacation vouchers and support measures to avoid a crisis in the HoReCa sector.

Representatives of the Federation of Employers in the Hospitality Industry (FPIOR) are asking the government for urgent measures to support the tourism sector, including the return of vacation vouchers and the establishment of a guarantee fund. They emphasize that the hospitality industry needs coherent and predictable public policies to survive. Data shows a significant decrease in tourism revenues after the elimination of vouchers, and employers state that without a promotion strategy, vouchers are essential for competitiveness.

They are also requesting fiscal stability and facilities for SMEs, such as working capital with low interest rates. The Minister of Economy has acknowledged the need for a guarantee fund, and the president of FPIOR has highlighted the importance of collaboration between the state and the private sector to ensure the viability of the sector.
