ccording to the Salobreña Town Hall, work on ‘urbanizing’ the new hotel area will be completed within ten months.
Bars, restaurants and shops in Almuñécar are livid over the 2-hour power cut on Easter Thursday, just when the town was packed with tourists.
Nobody in the business sector would argue that Salobreña needs hotels, but at the same time there is reticence over losing the vega.
The Town Hall and TUI Travel PLC, have come up with a few ideas to promote Almuñécar and La Herradura as tourist destinations for Scandinavians and French-speaking countries.
TUI Travel PLC are a world leader in vacation type travel, so they should know what they are doing.
It would appear that the TH1 area of Salobreña, earmarked for hotel-use only, will start to take shape at the end of this year.
Foreign tourists are and have been pouring into Spain, which not only brings in cash for the shaky Spanish economy, but it also makes up for the drop in internal tourism.
It is going to be a hard winter; and not solely because of the temperatures, but because of the lack of trade. All along Costa Tropical, hotel season closures will mean that 2,500 hotel beds will disappear, along with 800 jobs.
Hotels on the Costa Tropical face having to close down for the off season as fears grow over the a possible loss of state-subsidized holidays for pensioners.
The publicly owned company, Cetursa, that manages the whole of the skiing complex on Sierra Nevada decided to close the season earlier than normal, which with the late snowfalls at the beginning of April, did not amuse the rest of the businesses up there; restaurants, hotels and shops.
