Spain announced a 720 million-euro ($809 million) package for reviving the tourism industry after it was impacted hard by the corona virus pandemic.

The funds will be utilized for supporting a strategic sector, which accounts for 12% of the economic output, said Spanish Tourism Minister Reyes Maroto at a news conference after a cabinet meeting in Madrid.

The funding includes 565 million euros to finance innovative projects in order to make tourism more competitive by using digital technologies, energy efficiency and sustainable practices.
