To stimulate growth and promote tourism in the Autonomous City of Melilla, the department responsible for tourism (currently the Department of Economy, Commerce, Technological Innovation, Tourism and Development) has developed the "Regulatory Decree for Tourist Package Discounts to Melilla", with the Tourism Board attached to the Department acting as the managing entity.

Citizens with legal residence in any territory, excluding residents of Melilla, who meet the required criteria may be beneficiaries of this aid.

The tourist package consists of applying a 75% discount per person on the net amount of round-trip airline or ferry tickets with established limits and their stay in Melilla in any of the tourist accommodation modalities or official entity or recreational boats docked in the city (subject to justification by the entity) or at the home of a city resident, excluding:

  • Travel for work reasons, except for professionals whose work involves promoting the city of Melilla.
  • Official or federative sports competitions, except individual sporting events.
  • From June 1 to September 1, maritime transport aid will be limited to hotel establishments.
  • Residents of the Balearic Islands, Ceuta and the Canary Islands when their trip originates from their city of residence.

Some new features have been included to benefit from the aid, such as:

  • Accommodation on recreational boats with prior certification by the hosting entity.
  • Travel for professionals whose work involves tourism promotion of the city of Melilla, provided they meet the requirements, may benefit from ticket discounts with prior accreditation from the entity.
  • The voucher may be requested for a single leg of the trip when a modification of the travel date is necessary, with prior justification by the applicant of the purchase of a round-trip ticket without discount, provided they meet the requirements established in the new call.

The trips must last between two and fifteen consecutive calendar days between departure and return dates.

To obtain the discount, you must complete an application that includes all people traveling and provide the necessary documentation.

Once the voucher is obtained, you must go to one of the travel agencies selected in your application for ticket management.

Can I apply for the subsidy if I live outside Spain?

Yes, the subsidy will only cover transport departing from any city in Spain.

What requirements must I meet to request the maritime transport subsidy from 1 June to 1 September?

To benefit from maritime transport aid, your stay must be limited to tourist accommodation and the travel dates must match the length of the round trip.

Can an unaccompanied minor request a voucher?

If the beneficiary is a minor travelling without an accompanying adult, the father, mother or legal guardian must submit the application on their behalf, providing the family book or any other official document proving they are authorised to act for the minor. In this scenario a specific authorisation form for minors must be completed for each request.

Where can I obtain the authorisation form for minors?

You can download it by clicking here.

Can the minor travel with an adult who is not their parent or legal guardian?

Yes. You must include the minor in the application as a beneficiary and provide the following documentation:

  • Family book or any other official document proving the signer is authorised to act on behalf of the minor.
  • Responsible declaration form including the minor's details, signed by their parent, mother or legal guardian.

Does the voucher expire?

Yes, you have one month from the acceptance of your application to buy your tickets at the travel agency you selected.

Where can I download the responsible declaration form?

You can download it by clicking here.

Who must submit the responsible declaration and what does it include?

Every traveller listed in the application must submit an individual responsible declaration confirming that they are not subject to any of the circumstances described in sections 2 and 3 of article 13 of Law 38/2003 on General Subsidies—which would prevent them from obtaining beneficiary status for subsidies—and that they fulfil the obligations established in article 14 of the same law. They must also declare that they have no outstanding debts for subsidy repayments under article 25 of Royal Decree 887/2006 of 21 July, approving the Regulations of the Subsidy Law, nor any pending justification before the Autonomous City of Melilla. For minors, the declaration must include their details and be signed by their legal representative.

Can I buy a single leg of the trip?

Yes. The voucher may be requested for a single leg of the trip when a modification of the travel date is necessary, with prior justification by the applicant of the purchase of a round-trip ticket without discount, provided they meet the requirements established in the new call.

Can I benefit only from tourist accommodation?

No, only beneficiaries residing in the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and Ceuta when travelling from their place of residence may do so.

Can I get the accommodation discount if I do not book it through the travel agency chosen in the application?

No. The accommodation discounts regulated by the Tourist Board can only be applied when the tourist package is booked through one of the partner travel agencies participating in the voucher programme.

Can I benefit only from the round-trip ticket subsidies?

Yes, when the chosen accommodation is the home of a resident in the city. In this case, you must attach the resident's ID and the authorisation form signed with a digital certificate (Law 39/2015, arts. 9 and following) or by appearing in person or by proxy at the Tourist Board offices. This option is also available for business trips carried out by professionals promoting tourism in Melilla.

Combining routes and modes of transport

It is possible to combine outbound and return journeys with different characteristics, such as:

  • Flight ticket (outbound) with ferry ticket (return), or vice versa.
  • Different origins or destinations.
  • Different accommodations on the boat (seat or cabin).

As long as all other conditions and requirements to be eligible for the aid/discounts are met.

Are the tourist package subsidies compatible with other aid?

Yes, as long as the total amount of aid received does not exceed the cost of the tickets and/or accommodation.

Do I have to declare the subsidy received?

In compliance with the Transparency Law and the General Subsidies Law, the Administration of the Autonomous City of Melilla will report the subsidy received to the Tax Agency. Booking the tourist package means every beneficiary is responsible for the applicable tax obligations. The aid granted will also be published in the National Subsidies Database (BDNS) as provided in article 20.8 of the General Subsidies Law, unless publishing the beneficiary's details would compromise respect for and safeguard of personal or family privacy, in accordance with Organic Law 1/1982 of 5 May on civil protection of the right to honour, personal and family privacy, and one's own image. In such cases, the Councillor responsible for tourism may decide otherwise (article 20.8.b of the General Subsidies Law).
