Tax savings
The amounts you will pay to fund the Clients' cashback (e.g., the €50) can be recorded as marketing or promotional expenses (with deductible VAT) and are therefore entirely deductible for IRES/IRPEF and IRAP purposes, reducing the hotel's taxable income.
In practice: you don't lose value, you transform it into a useful and fiscally advantageous expense for the territory.
