Por qué Europa se resiste a liderar la producción de tecnología para viajes

🏖️ Toni Raurich-Marcet, IA professor at ISDI and co-founder of eBooking and GP Traveltech.vc, highlighted the issue of digitalization in tourism, stating European technologies are largely owned by US and Chinese companies. Morgann Lesné of Cambon Partners, during the Tourism Innovation Summit in Sevilla, mentioned Europe, especially France and Spain, could produce leading travel tech companies with a radical growth approach. Examples include Booking.com, Amadeus, and TravelPerk. Lesné emphasizes the need for aggressive mergers and acquisitions and going beyond national borders to create global leaders. With lower costs in Europe and available talent, Lesné predicts 2025 could see a peak in sector mergers and acquisitions.

Cómo se gestionó y coordinó la ayuda de Hosbec a los afectados por la DANA

🚨 Mayte García Córcoles discusses the initial challenge of managing the influx of contributions and proposals in Valencia, where the occupancy forecast exceeded 85% for the holiday.

A coordinated database with Turisme de la Comunidad Valenciana allowed for the accommodation of National Police, Civil Guard, and firefighters. Collaboration with Asuntos Sociales and the NGO World Central Kitchen, facilitated by the Centro de Turismo de Valencia, provided meals and shelter for those in need. The hospitality industry in Valencia stands united, offering long-term support and promoting tourism as a transformative force in recovery efforts.

World Travel Market abre sus puertas entre optimismo y cautela

🌍 In January-September 2024, British tourist arrivals to Spain increased by 7.4% year-on-year, with a 15% rise in tourism spending. Despite improvements in travel confidence among Brits, especially families and young adults aged 25-34, the UK’s economic growth for 2024 is predicted at just 0.9%. Unemployment stands at 4.3%, with inflation at 2.3%. Staycations gained popularity during 2020-2021 due to the pandemic, supported by UK government campaigns. Spain remains the preferred destination for Brits in 2024, with a 7.6% increase in winter air capacity over the previous season, nearly tripling that of Italy and France. Turkish vacations have become cheaper due to the lira's depreciation against the pound, from 11 to 45 liras per pound. British travel demand is highly sensitive to domestic economic changes, inflation rates, and currency fluctuations.
