El golpe de Alemania a Booking da alas a los hoteles españoles

📈 Un tribunal de Berlín ha ordenado a Booking indemnizar a más de 1.000 hoteles alemanes por daños desde el 1 de enero de 2013 debido a cláusulas de paridad de precios. Estas cláusulas limitaron la competencia y afectaron la estructura del mercado. En 2024, la CNMC multó a Booking con 413 millones de euros. En 2026, hoteles españoles iniciarán demandas colectivas. A nivel europeo, 15.000 hoteles se han unido a acciones legales similares.

ONU Turismo: ninguneo de Sánchez a las potencias turísticas españolas

🌎 Pedro Sánchez's government announced plans to seek entry for Catalonia and the Basque Country into the UNWTO, prioritizing regions that provide parliamentary stability. Catalonia welcomed nearly 20 million international visitors in 2024, while the Basque Country had 4.7 million. Ignored regions like Canarias, Baleares, Andalucía, and Comunidad Valenciana surpassed these numbers, and are mostly under PP governance. This move, seen as political, faced criticism from tourism leaders for being divisive. The application will be submitted soon.
