Speaking to the BBC, Ramon Estalella, general secretary of the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation, said the country had dozens of hotels “open and waiting” for guests – but no way for them to get there following the loss in airlift from the collapse of Cook.
According to the confederation, more than one million autumn and winter visitors will no longer be able to flying into Spanish destinations, which it said would result in the closure of more than 500 hotels at a likely cost of hundreds of millions of euros.
