The Balearic Hospitality Sector is expecting to close July with a slump in activity due to the restrictions imposed as a result of rising Covid-19 infections.

According to the Spanish Federation of Distribution Companies to Hotels and Restaurants, or Fedishoreca, June was the best month in the sector in Spain since March 2020.

The Hospitality industry obtained 90% activity compared to June, 2019. Activity was down 40% in June 2020 and August was the best month of that year with a decrease of 15%.

11% of Spain's Hospitality Sector was still closed at the end of last month, which equates to around 35,000 establishments and up to 20% of hotels in the Balearic Islands and other foreign tourism areas were shut.
