Barcelo chief Simon Pedro Barcelo sees dismal summer | hotelnewsnow.com
Spain’s tourist outlook for the summer is dismal with sales dropping between 5 and 10 percent as vacationers cut back on spending and the length of hotel stays, predicted Simón Pedro Barceló, president of Barcelo Corporacion Empresarial hotel and travel group. “This year is going to be very difficult as we’ve already seen from the 20-percent fall in industry sales during the first four months of the year, which was the low season,” Barceló said at an economic conference in the Spanish capital.
