The first 886 vacation rentals that lacked the necessary registration have been removed by the Generalitat Valenciana’s Tourism Registry. As part of an updating process that includes the 101,200 residences registered until December 2024, 800 of these homes are owned by the province of Alicante.

The primary cause of these properties’ removal from the Register, according to sources from the Ministry of Industry, Innovation, Trade, and Tourism, is that they do not have an NIF or NIE, which has caused the system to remove them. The remaining properties—roughly 26,000 in total—that lack a cadastral reference will be added to the process.

Properties that have been deregistered yet still rent out to tourists may be subject to penalties from the appropriate authorities.

A third of the 803 deregistered residences in the province of Alicante are in Benidorm, 55 are in Castellón, and 28 are in Valencia, according to the data presented. According to Marián Cano, the regional minister for tourism, this procedure is a part of the first stage of a comprehensive evaluation that will look at over 34,000 vacation houses overall.

The significance of Valencia’s Tourism Registry for lodging for visitors

A vital instrument for the tourism industry, the Tourism Registry offers vital data that enables the administration to perform a number of tasks required to guarantee the industry’s proper operation.

What does unsubscribing from the register mean?

It is crucial to remember that any apartments that are deregistered with the Generalitat Valenciana are no longer able to serve as lodging for tourists. They risk penalties for failing to comply with existing regulations if they keep operating without a registration.

Updating crucial information

The essential need for current information on lodging for tourists has been recognised by the General Directorate of Tourism. Electronic communications and the completion of administrative procedures are complicated by the absence of crucial information, such as the owners’ tax identification number, phone number, and email address.

The information in the Tourism Registry must be kept current and adhere to the standards set by the relevant authorities in order to prevent issues and guarantee appropriate administration.

According to health sources, a 72-year-old man lost his life in a car-truck collision on the road to Guardamar del Segura in the municipality of Benejúzar on Wednesday.

After learning of the accident at around ten in the morning, the Emergency Information and Coordination Centre (CICU) sent an ambulance from the Emergency Medical Assistance Service (SAMU) and another from Basic Life Support (SVB) to the scene to administer medical attention.

This 72-year-old man’s death has only been confirmed by the SAMU medical team as a result of the accident that occurred yesterday.

Nine out of 10 products with protein claims are unhealthy, according to a study conducted by Miguel Hernández University (UMH) in Elche.

In an analysis of the nutritional values of over 4,300 processed products of twelve different types, conducted by researcher Marta Beltrá and Ana Belén Ropero, professor of Nutrition and Food Science at the UMH, it was discovered that 13% of the products contained statements about protein, and that more than half of them had been enriched to increase the content of this nutrient. Furthermore, study showed that, despite animal protein’s more complete amino acid profile, vegetable protein was used more frequently in these products.

According to the study’s findings, 91% of goods with protein claims like “high protein” or “+ protein” are unhealthy. Three factors contribute to this: over half are heavy in fat or salt, one in four are high in saturated fats or free sugars (the “bad”), and one in five have sweeteners.

Additionally, only two-thirds of the items were fortified, despite the fact that the study indicates that foods with protein claims contain more than those without. As a result, the authors of the investigation draw the conclusion that a product with a nutritional claim about its protein content does not necessarily have a higher protein content than alternatives that do not.

However, the UMH in Elche study found that eating extra protein has two choices. One option is to choose goods with higher protein content, and the other is to consume more naturally high-protein foods like legumes and fish. Selecting the second option has the benefit of having more other nutrients, such vitamins and minerals, in these foods.

According to the study, there are some benefits to eating goods with protein claims, though, as when they are enriched, they can be a fun way for physically active people to meet their daily protein goals without consuming more calories.

Additionally, they can lower the prevalence of anorexia in these demographic groups by assisting older adults, particularly those residing in nursing homes, in increasing their protein intake.
