Bari tourism voucher: 70% of online bookings, CRM and website

What it offers

The call belongs to the Bari Chamber of Commerce, with EUR 400,000 from the tourism share of the annual chamber fee increase. Applications go on ReStart from 10:00 on 18 September to 12:00 on 27 November 2026, with a digital signature and a EUR 16 stamp duty, and are handled in order of arrival until funds run out.

• a 70% grant on costs before VAT, up to EUR 7,000, with a minimum investment of EUR 3,000;
• EUR 150 to 500 more with a legality rating, EUR 250 with gender equality certification;
• de minimis rules, with 4% withheld;
• one application per business.

The business also needs natural disaster insurance, attached to the application, and a clean social security certificate (DURC).

What counts on the IT side

The call's first line covers:

• programs for selling tourism services directly and taking bookings;
• software licences tied to the main business and listings on platforms and marketplaces, with fees for up to 12 months;
• CRM applications and content for the website and social media;
• digital marketing and advertising.

Consulting can't exceed 30% of the investment. Computers, tablets and smartphones not tied to the project are excluded, as is tax, accounting and legal advice. Costs must concern the premises in the province of Bari.

What I do

For a hotel, a B&B or a restaurant the most useful job is usually direct booking on its own website, so it doesn't depend only on the big portals. I do it like this:

• bookings on the website, also as a PWA, with the room or table calendar;
• business software for customers and bookings that also works as a CRM;
• a new website, if today's can't handle bookings.

I write the quote with separate items, as the call asks. The full EUR 7,000 grant is reached with EUR 10,000 of spending before VAT.

What I don't do

I don't file the application or check the business's eligibility. This page summarises the call dated 4 August 2026 and the Bari Chamber of Commerce's call page, as read on 9 November 2026. The call is the reference.

Micro, small and medium businesses operating in the province of Bari, in the Companies Register, paid up on the annual chamber fee and with a primary ATECO 2025 code on the list: accommodation, food service, travel agencies, car and sports equipment rental, conferences and trade fairs, museums, parks, beach resorts, wellness centres and others.

Can you be the supplier?

Suppliers linked to the business, its legal representative, its board members and their relatives up to the third degree are excluded.

Is there still time?
