This aid acknowledges the additional effort made by towns like Benissa to meet the demand for public services, which can significantly exceed that corresponding to their resident population, particularly due to tourism activity.
The granting of this aid, published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV) on November 6th, confirms Benissa's status as a tourist municipality and provides additional financial support for the municipal coffers.
This year, the Generalitat Valenciana has distributed a total of €3.5 million among the tourist municipalities of the Valencian Community. The distribution considers criteria such as a fixed allocation per municipality, kilometers of coastline, tourist accommodation capacity, and population.
With this contribution, Benissa gains new resources to cover the costs of public services and continue addressing the needs of a municipality where tourism activity places greater demands on municipal services and management.
