Employment in hotels and rural accommodation in Osona
During the recent holidays, occupancy in hotels and rural accommodation in Osona has experienced a remarkable increase, exceeding 95% of reserved places, a figure significantly higher than the previous year. This increase is attributed to several factors, including the distribution of holidays in the calendar and the improved economic environment compared to previous years.
Factors that have contributed to this increase
The president of the Gremi d’Hosteleria d’Osona, Joan Naudó, has highlighted that the distribution of public holidays close to the weekend has had a positive impact on hotel occupancy. In addition, an upswing in the economic environment has been observed, which has encouraged a greater number of bookings compared to previous years.
Perspectives futures
The Gremi d’Hosteleria d’Osona hopes that this high level of employment will be maintained in the coming years, thus breaking the trend of low employment observed in the past. This continued increase in employment could contribute to revitalizing the hospitality sector in the region.
Rural accommodation in Central Catalonia
In addition to hotels, rural accommodation in Central Catalonia has also experienced almost absolute occupancy, with longer stays than the previous year. This situation has been favored by the coincidence of holidays close to the weekend and favorable weather conditions.
Growing demand
During the Christmas and St. Stephen’s holidays, a slight increase in occupancy has been observed, with rooms almost full and full occupancy in fully rented houses. In addition, demand for New Year’s Eve has experienced a significant increase, with 100% occupancy achieved several weeks in advance.
