ARCHIVED - Costa del Sol hotels expect to only invoice half of their 2019 sales this year
Costa del Sol hotels are expecting better figures this summer than last year.
The Hotel Association of the Costa del Sol (Aehcos) has announced that they hope the area’s hotels will achieve half of the sales invoiced during 2019, which was a good year for tourism.
Experts are divided over when figures are likely to reach their pre-pandemic levels, with some suggesting 2022 and others 2023. The Spanish government previously said it believed levels would not reach the same levels until 2023.
Aehcos’s president, Jose Luque, said that last year hotel sales reached 30 per cent of the previous year, while experts believe sales will this year reach between 45 and 55 per cent of those in 2019 on the Costa del Sol, should the evolution of the coronavirus continue as expected this summer, with the number of vaccines administered in Spain rising daily; as of Tuesday evening (May 11) over 14 million Spaniards had been given at least one dose of one of the available vaccines.
