These are the three provinces with the cheapest getaways for this summer
According to information from the tourism website Weekendesk, the provinces where it is cheapest to make a short trip this summer are Ávila, Asturias and Almería. In all cases, according to the website where the plans are sold, the amount of the trip does not exceed 90 euros per couple and night. This makes them the lowest cost alternatives. As far as autonomous communities are concerned, Asturias is now the leader. Murcia and Galicia follow, with averages of 90 and 95 euros. In all cases the website indicates that there have been price reductions of seven to 15% compared to 2019.
As for the type of package chosen, the gastronomic packages are the most booked ones. Those based on healthy experiences have also had a logical upturn, according to the trends perceived by the website. On the other hand, those who opt for a themed getaway are people from Madrid, Castile and Leon and Castile-La Mancha, who leave 300 euros on average. 100 less are spent by the most savers: Basques, Murcians, Cantabrians and Galicians.
The attention generated by inland tourism as a result of the coronavirus crisis is greater than in previous years. Led by the rural alternatives, which were the first to begin to accumulate reserves during the de-escalate period, it is the part of the sector that most quickly opts to return to normal. Something that is extracted from the words of the Tourism Secretary of State, Isabel Oliver. In statements to Efe, she predicts a summer comparable to a normal year. National tourists would thus be the ones to maintain competitiveness in the economic segment.
The Secretary of State points out that the situation is very complicated due to the lack of foreign tourists. Oliver argues that the state of both tourism branches is opposite. In this regard, the internal displacements are those that will allow to maintain prices and to be able to assume 2021 as a global re-start of the sector in Spain. Nor does it contemplate a return to quarantine, but rather “local” resurgence to be quickly controlled. Finally, she argues that the conversion of tourism, towards the digital and sustainable, has in this stop the opportunity to consolidate definitively. A thread of hope for an activity that has a tremendous hole in its accounts due to COVID-19.
