La timadora Cryptospain controla el apartotel de Globalia en Bávaro

🏦 Since March, Cryptospain, led by Álvaro Romillo - an expert in tax evasion, has controlled Globalia's 150-suite apart-hotel in Bávaro's El Cortecito area, undergoing extensive renovations due to its previous neglect. Despite concerns from employees about Cryptospain's closed profiles and presumed legal investigations for defrauding investors with bitcoin schemes, the company has also purchased a villa in Cap Cana and leased commercial space near Ikea for operations. No hotel or tourism experience is noted for Romillo, who also operated the controversial and recently shuttered financial club promising up to 53% returns while mocking Spanish fiscal authorities.

Economía de guerra en Boeing para sobrevivir a la huelga

✈ In Washington, Boeing faces a worker-company conflict; workers demand a 40% wage increase, while Boeing offers 25%. Measures in response include freezing hiring, suspending non-essential travel, prohibiting first/business class for executives, cutting non-essential expenses, canceling catering (except for clients), reducing event presence, and suspending contracts for numerous workers. This follows a delicate financial period for Boeing, affected by a strike involving 33,000 International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers employees, excluding those at the Georgia plant where the 787 construction continues.

Otro retraso a la apertura del nuevo museo nacional egipcio

🏛 Egypt faces a tourism issue with its national museum located in Tahrir Square, Cairo, which has been insufficient for over 20 years. A new museum near the Pyramids, partially opened after a $1 billion investment, awaits completion. The highly anticipated new museum's opening, originally set for late this year, has been indefinitely postponed by the government to add new galleries and expand with a second museum. Currently, only 10% of the museum, including Ramses II statues, is open to visitors, with the main gallery of 5,500 works pending a launch date. Tourists must visit both distant museums, amidst concerns over regional conflicts like Gaza affecting tourism.

Earlier, Díaz proposed a plan to limit tourism activities, including measures against flights, cruises, and vehicle rentals, which was rejected in Congress.
