The tourism sector has had the best Easter since before the pandemic, with
hotel occupancy between 80 and 90%
in almost all tourist destinations, more than two million passengers on trains and more than 57,000 flights, according to data from the Tourism Board.
Its president, Juan Molas, has indicated that
the tourist data recorded this Easter have exceeded pre-pandemic levels
in many destinations and many companies have billed above 2019, although, as Molas has warned, costs have increased "significantly", especially due to the increase in energy or food prices.
That is why the companies have not earned the same, although they have billed more.
"We have billed the same as or above the year 2019
, but costs have also increased significantly," assured the president of the Tourism Board in an interview with Antena 3 collected by Europa Press.
The outlook for the sector is positive for the coming months, since a "really good"
spring season is expected .
All European markets register good booking figures, especially the British, German and French markets, to which is added the recovery of more distant destinations.
The Spanish tourism sector is confident that the loss of the Russian tourism market, due to the war in Ukraine, will be offset by the arrival of tourists from other regions of the world and "if there are no other extraordinary negative events", this will be the year of the definitive recovery of tourism, especially national tourism.
