Viajeros de negocios dicen adiós a los hoteles, cada vez más caros

💸 In Madrid, a luxury hotel room costs at least €1,000, a significant increase from five years ago. Barcelona's average hotel night price was €190 from January to August 2024, up €16 from the same period in 2023. Business travelers, facing rising accommodation costs across Europe, are considering alternatives like videoconferencing, cheaper hotels on city outskirts, or "corporate housing" apartments. Apartool offers a B2B platform for managing corporate housing, aiming to make apartment booking as efficient as hotel reservations. In Barcelona, a 40-night stay costs €4,264 (€107/night), while in Madrid, a 74-night stay in a studio costs €6,622 (€90/night). Businesses value apartments for convenience, cost-saving, quality services, and integrated billing.

Los hoteles ven avances con el registro pero las agencias son más críticas

🏖 CEHAT confirmed a collaboration with Spain's Ministry of Interior to work on the new traveler registration system outlined in Real Decreto 933/2021. A meeting held on October 4 with CEOE's tourism council yielded agreements, with no further extensions for adjusting to Ses Hospedajes platform—full application of the decree begins December 2, 2024. The decree won't require additional data beyond current practices. However, ACAVE, FETAVE, and UNAV negatively viewed the outcomes, fearing unaddressed risks and planning informative actions. An EU Commission complaint could exempt travel agencies from the decree.
