The uncertainty created by the Covid-19 pandemic caused a breakdown in hotel activity and many hotels admit to closing doors without a date for a reopening, advances “Jornal de Notícias” this Saturday, October 31.
The worst scenario is expected for hotels, with the closure of activity in the Algarve threatening to reach more than 300 hotels, and with the Vila Galé chain closing 17 units during the autumn-winter period, keeping only 10 units open. The Algarve, Porto and Lisbon must be the regions most affected by the pandemic.
The executive president of the Portuguese Association of Hotels, Restaurants and Tourism admits in the publication that it is unlikely that the hotels that made the decision to close will open their doors before next summer. The Dom Henrique, a five-star hotel located in the center of Porto, is an example of a hotel that suspends activity without a scheduled reopening date, with fixed costs being high and the occupancy rate has remained below the 10%. . Even so, the hotel manager assumes “JN” that he will not proceed with the dismissals.
