Hoteleros también sufren al caerse los extras

🏨 In 2025, the restaurant sector in Mallorca saw a significant decline, with August credit card payments indicating a 30% drop compared to 2024. While table occupancy remained stable, customer spending on dining out decreased. Hotel giants like Marriott also reported lower spending by guests beyond room charges, affecting additional services. Despite an increase in hotel guests, shorter stays led to more check-ins and check-outs. Notably, German tourist numbers fell due to economic pressures.

El ganador del verano: el supermercado

🛒 Supermarkets emerged as the summer's winners, benefiting from the rise of Airbnb-style tourism, while restaurants and shops reported revenue declines. This trend, seen notably in Spain, reduces stable employment and tax contributions. The average trip duration to Spain decreased, with more airport movements but fewer overnight stays. Despite hotel quality improvements, cost-conscious tourists dominate alternative accommodations. Governments, including the Balearic Islands, promote this model, though unions and travel agencies call for regulatory changes.

Ryanair y Aena noquean a Santa Cruz, La Laguna y El Puerto de la Cruz

✈ Ryanair's base closure at Tenerife Norte impacts Santa Cruz, La Laguna, and Puerto de la Cruz due to Aena's fee hikes. Connectivity between Tenerife and Spain suffers as Ryanair axes routes to six cities, leaving Vueling and Binter to cover some routes. The move affects local hospitality and commerce sectors. Ryanair's exit is unusual given its profitability and the resident discount benefits, but competitors can't match Ryanair's demand level.

Aena critica a Ryanair lo mismo en lo que ella cae

🛫 Aena criticizes Ryanair's communication style, labeling it as "blackmail and hypocrisy." Despite acknowledging Ryanair's often disrespectful approach, Aena's response mirrored this tone. Ryanair's provocative style, rooted in its early cost-saving strategies, still defines its identity. The core issue is not Ryanair's profit motive but the economic impact of Aena's significant fee hikes, potentially diverting a million tourists to competitor countries during Spain's economic slowdown.

Binter, gran ganadora de los recortes de Ryanair

✈ Ryanair, in winter 2025, will cancel all flights to Tenerife Norte. The decision affects routes to Alicante, Barcelona, Madrid, Palma, Sevilla, and Valencia, and follows the closure of its Santiago base due to rising Aena airport fees. The cuts include a 41% regional airport reduction in Spain, affecting 600,000 seats, and a 10% cut in the Canary Islands, removing 400,000 seats. Spain will lose 2 million seats annually. Binter and Vueling will continue serving these routes.

Vueling o Volotea dan la razón a Ryanair

✈ Ryanair's withdrawal from regional airports in Valladolid, Jerez, Vigo, Santiago, Asturias, Santander, and Zaragoza is not being offset by airlines like Vueling or Volotea. Aena's failure to attract replacements highlights the need for incentives to operate profitably. Economies of scale allow Ryanair to offer competitive prices. Aena's reluctance to reduce fees is a key factor, alongside the need for more attractive tourism offerings. Political and business leaders must innovate to harness the region's tourism potential.
