Leisure, Tourism And Hotels: What Will Be, Will Be In A Sector Battered By Covid19

Banco Sabadell | The hotel sector is one of the worst off after the irruption of Covid-19. Travel, both leisure and especially business, has almost completely disappeared. This has led to hotel closures and occupancy levels below 20% in some months. The airlines’ perspectives could be a good proxy in order to try to find out what could happen with hotel demand. IATA forecasts that the number of global passengers will be 61% lower in 2020 compared to 2019. Our forecast of a drop in occupancy is -66% in NH Hotels and -67% in Meliá Hotels.

“Spain Must Keep On Investing In Hotels, New Tourism Areas”

Germany is a country of travellers. Three out of every four people go on holiday at least once a year. And Spain is their main foreign destination: over 10 million Germans visit the country on an annual basis – spending almost 10 billion euros – running a close second to the number of UK tourists to Spain. Almost half of them travel with a package deal from TUI, world leader in the sector. Sebastian Ebel is the CEO of TUI Germany.
