Highlights from the 86th HOTREC General Assembly: European hospitality must be a priority
On 26-28 April 2023, HOTREC members from over 30 European countries joined government officials and high-level speakers in Tenerife, Spain, on the occasion of its 86th General Assembly. The event has been a fruitful opportunity to share insights, news and best practices, and reflect on current and upcoming challenges, such as increased inflation, energy and food prices, skills and staff shortages.
Ms Rosana Morillo, Spanish State Secretary for Tourism, addressed delegates and anticipated the priorities of the upcoming Spanish Presidency of the EU concerning the industry. She invited participants to keep up the successful collaboration with the EU Institutions and local governments built over the devastating COVID crisis.
HOTREC urged the upcoming EU Presidency to prioritise the industry during its term of office and advance on critical files – such as the EU proposal for a Regulation on Short-Term Rentals and the VAT in the digital age package.
