The Imserso fails again this year in Castellón as a destination: barely attracts ten hotels

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General5 September 2026 at 05:04

The Imserso subsidized travel program for seniors once again has a very limited impact in the province of Castellón as a tourist destination. Only about ten hotels agreed to participate in the program for the upcoming season.

This low participation contrasts with the expectations of the local tourism sector, which expected greater economic revitalization through this type of government program aimed at the senior public.

The hotels that decided to participate did so after an ultimatum issued by the sector, which warned about the zero profitability that the program has provided in recent years. This complaint has been a recurring one from tourism professionals in the region.

Castellón thus returns to registering very modest participation numbers in the Imserso, which reinforces concerns about the program's capacity to attract significant tourist flows to the province during the upcoming season.

Renfe announced that during this month, up to seven additional services will be gradually implemented, even using second-hand trains from the Civia 465 model, coming from Cercanías services in Madrid, which in some cases are already more than two decades old, which has generated controversy.

The return to work after the holiday period is proving particularly difficult for residents of Castellón, Spain. Added to the increase in inflation is the sharp rise in fuel prices, with gasoline becoming more expensive than diesel at some gas stations. The government responded with a change in support measures: while the diesel A bonus increased from 10 to 20 cents per liter, the aid for gasoline was halved, dropping from 10 to just 5 cents, reversing the previous trend.
