Las tres noticias más importantes del sector turístico, 8 de enero

🏦 HBX Group, previously known as Hotelbeds, is planning a stock market debut in 2025 with a 5 billion euro valuation. The decision was postponed from 2024 due to geopolitical and electoral uncertainty, aiming to list before mid-February, before its annual accounts closed in September expire. After failed sale attempts, HBX refinanced 1.3 billion euros in debt and repaid 240 million from pandemic injections in 2024. With a turnover of 8.4 billion in 2023, it's backed by Evercore, Bank of America, Citi, and Morgan Stanley. Hotelbeds processes over 5.6 billion searches daily. Spanish outbound tourism is recovering in 2025, with early bookings and a demand for long-haul destinations like Japan, Thailand, and Costa Rica. Travel agencies confirm growing interest in Asia and America, thanks to new direct routes and better connectivity. Cruises in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe remain popular. The cancellation of the Hard Rock project in Catalonia might cost investors up to 50 million euros in indemnifications.
