SUMMARY

A citizen submitted a request for access to information addressed to Paradores de Turismo de España to access the content of its inventory of movable and artistic goods, with registration of works of art, within the Hostal San Marcos de León.

Paradores de Turismo did not provide the information on the understanding that facilitating the request would affect their economic and commercial interests, in addition to having a high risk of theft of the goods.

When a complaint was filed, the Council for Transparency and Good Governance considered it in part, since although there may be the damage invoked by the entity, there is also a higher public interest that allows the information to be given, based on the constitutional right to promote and protect culture and the legal requirement to keep an inventory of assets. The part of the information that affects the exact geographical and physical location of the works of art is removed.
