If you want to know more about the Imserso trips offered annually to pensioners in Spain, you can check the information here.

The Imserso trips for the 2022-23 season are already finalised after the application period for the 816,029 available places to participate in the Tourism Programme ended. This next period of trips will run from October 2022 to June 2023, and the lucky applicants who have received their letter of accreditation must now make their reservations.

As reported on its official Twitter account on Sunday, August 14, anybody who has applied to go on one of the trips can check online via the official link: https://sede.imserso.gob.es/mis-solicitudes.

This annual scheme from the Spanish government provides pensioners with affordable discounted stays in coastal areas and inland tourism destinations. One part of the available places are reserved for applicants with limited resources.

Imserso previously sets the destinations, the price, and the duration of the trips, and travel agencies will subsequently put the tourist packages on sale. Despite the general increase in costs, the price of this season’s Imserso trips has been frozen.

Ione Belarra, the Minister of Social Rights, announced on June 1 that the 2022-2023 Imserso trips will take place: “without modifying the prices paid by older people, who will not have a single penny of increase in the price of their travel, compared to the previous season of 2021-2022”.
