The NH Málaga hotel will host this year's event, which will take place on the 8 and 9 May 2024. A key annual event for the tourist accommodation and real estate sector at the European level, which aims to analyze the current situation and trends and new developments in tourist accommodation. The meeting will bring together the main european leaders, administrators and institutions in Spain; with high-level presentations, business insights, and networking opportunities.
Finally, we would like to inform you that after months of negotiations between the private sector and the Andalusian Government, last Monday, January 29, the long-awaited new decree on tourist housing was approved. There have been months of negotiations between our association AVVA PRO, represented by the CEA, Andalusian Confederation of Entrepreneurs, the hotel sector and the public Administration. From our point of view, the Council has been able to understand the significant weight of vacation tourism for Andalusia, and although it is true that the approved text is not 100% perfect, historical demands have been achieved such as the recognition of the figure of the manager, an essential actor to professionalize the tourist offer of vacation homes in our region. In the next few days, we will share a video outlining the most important points and the impact it will have for Marbella.
