THE authorities’s plans to chop the working week to 37.5 hours will put up lodge costs, in response to a Benidorm-based lodge affiliation.
The Valencian Group Lodge and Tourism Enterprise Affiliation(Hosbec) says it should trigger a ‘important enhance’ to prices which will probably be handed on to guests by means of elevated costs.
Hosbec president, Fede Fuster, described the transfer as ‘reckless’, arguing that it’s going to have an effect on the competitiveness of the lodge sector.

He stated the deal struck between Labour Minister, Yolanda Diez, and commerce unions didn’t contain commerce and that vacationer companies are very labour intensive.
Fuster stated: “Minister Diaz forgets that within the Valencian hospitality trade, the working week has already been agreed at 37.5 hours and he or she has not defined what is going to occur to companies working eight-hour shifts, 24 hours a day.”
He added that the ‘small print’ of the adjustments will have to be analysed to see the way it dove-tails with what employers and unions had agreed to regionally.
Hosbec has pledged to work with each the Spanish Confederation of Enterprise Organizations and the Spanish Confederation of Lodges and Vacationer Lodging to ‘minimise’ the affect of the measure.
“It must be tailored to the truth of the tourism sector the place getting substitute employees isn’t simple and the place it might need to take a look at mechanising processes as a result of lack of staff,” Fuster added.
