Il spa bonus finally has an official date. The expected click day in order to take advantage of the voucher of 200 euros planned by the government to be spent on spa services has indeed been set for the next 8th November. On the side of the thermal establishments, to request a refund of the bonus used by customers, it will be necessary to be credited on the site Invitalia (available from 28 October). The spa bonus is a measure put in place by the government to help spa facilities get up after pandemic. It is a fund of 53 million euro allocated from Ministry of Economic Development destined for spa tourism, a sector brought to its knees by the crisis, just like the restaurant business.
How the 2021 Spa Bonus works and how to request it
As mentioned, the spas bonus allows you to qualify for one 100% Off in spas, up to a maximum of 200 euro per person. If this should exceed the limit of the voucher, the citizen will only have to pay the difference. In any case, the voucher will not be managed on the public administration platforms, but it will be the same citizen a contact the spa interest (among those on the list of accredited bodies) and book your voucher. Unlike other bonuses released by the government in recent months, the spas bonus there are no restrictions, such as those related toISEE. In fact, to get the discount it is enough to be older e residing in Italy. After booking the voucher at the spa, the citizen will have 60 days of time to redeem it. Of course, the bonus is not valid for restaurants or hotels and cannot be transferred to third parties.
Despite this good news, however, we must remember that the spa bonus will be available until resources are exhausted (i.e. the 53 million allocated by the Changing the). This means that not all citizens will be able to use the voucher. The Codacons in fact, he considered it as a "insane bonus”, Without criteria and without logic, since it would not help either the spas or the citizens. Without ISEE restrictions, just who manages to book on time will be able to obtain the subsidy (according to Codacons estimates we are talking about a total of approx 265mila citizens). This could be confusing, but also possible crash to platforms booking due to too many access requests. The spa bonus will prove to be a success, as advocated by the government (and many citizens) or a genuine failure as foreseen by the Codacons? On November 8, the awaited and feared click day, we will know the answer.
