¿Se puede reclamar por el apagón? Estos son los derechos de los pasajeros

⚠ Miles de ciudadanos afectados por un apagón eléctrico en España y otros países europeos indagan sobre posibles compensaciones por inconvenientes causados, como vuelos y trenes cancelados. Según Enrique García de la OCU, sin conocer las causas del apagón, no se puede determinar responsabilidades, y podría ser considerado "fuerza mayor". Las empresas de transporte deben reembolsar o reubicar pasajeros, pero no hay derecho a indemnizaciones, salvo mal manejo de la situación por aerolíneas, que podría conllevar a compensaciones de hasta 600 euros. La OCU y Flightright aconsejan conservar documentación del viaje para reclamaciones.

Cataluña aplaza la subida de la tasa turística por inseguridad jurídica

🏠 Cataluña delayed a tourism tax hike originally set for May 1 due to legal uncertainties, with new rates to apply after parliamentary validation and law processing. The tax is settled semiannually in April and October. The increase, decided in February with Comuns to double the tax, faced pushback from ERC wanting differentiation between Barcelona's tourism and the rest of Cataluña. The tourism industry in Girona strongly opposed the decree law 6/2025 from March 25, which permits municipalities to add up to a €4 surcharge. Barcelona's Apartur association opposes the tax, fearing additional burdens on families and local tourism. Since 2012, Cataluña collected €641 million in tourism taxes, Girona contributing nearly €115 million. The hike could raise per night charges up to €5.20, plus a €1.20 municipal fee. The tourism sector represents 12% of Cataluña's GDP and almost 21% in Girona. Transparency on tax revenue spending is demanded, noting only 40% of Catalonian and 25% of Gironian municipalities publish full reports.

El absentismo laboral se dispara: el turismo reclama una gestión mejor

🚧 Workplace absenteeism in Spain's tourism sector spiked post-COVID, hitting 20-30% in some destinations. CEOE's event "Turismo, talento y formación" spotlighted the issue, noting a 67% increase in common contingencies since 2019. Currently, 1.6 million individuals miss work all year, with daily absences in traditionally non-absentee sectors like industry reaching 1,000. The AENC agreement aims to give mutual insurance companies responsibilities for managing common trauma-related absences, and the government is set to reintroduce bonuses for companies improving occupational contingency records.
