Preliminary Draft Law on Sustainable Tourism in Andalusia

The Preliminary Draft Law only affects websites, channels or platforms that carry out marketing or advertising activities for establishments referred to in its Articles 2 34, 85 and 92.

Article 2 of the Preliminary Draft Law states that it is applicable to websites, channels or platforms that carry out marketing or advertising activities for tourist establishments, activities or services that are required to register with the Andalusian Tourism Registry.
Article 34.3 establishes that said websites, channels and platforms, upon request from the Administration, must inform the competent Administration in matters of tourism of the data relating to the ownership and address of those companies or individuals whose tourist activities, services or establishments are included in their information or marketing channels, without including the data or the corresponding registration code in the Andalusian Tourism Registry, when this is mandatory. Furthermore, they are required to withdraw the advertising and information provided in their information, marketing, and/or advertising channels for those tourist companies, services, establishments or activities that do not include the data or the registration code from the Andalusian Tourism Registry, when this registration is mandatory.
Failure to comply with the above obligation is, according to the wording of Article 85(24) of the Preliminary Draft Law, a serious infringement that may be sanctioned, in accordance with Article 92(2), with a fine of between 10,001 euros and 100,000 euros and a possible additional sanction of suspension from the exercise of tourist services, or the temporary closure of the establishment, where appropriate, for a period of one year, as well as the loss of the possibility of obtaining subsidies in the field of tourism.
