Murcia is running out of travel

The closures of Travel Agents are assuming a serious detriment to the services sector in the province of Murcia. Until June 14.5% of them had to miss the closing. These figures merely confirm the general trend throughout Spain where the industry has visco as more than 10% of travel agencies are no longer viable and have decided to cease its activity.



For the director general of the portal Amadeus these figures merely confirm the adjustment process that the industry was experiencing. Evidently, the crisis is causing a more rapid adjustment rather tragic for many small agencies that are not surviving the crisis. The acceleration in the number of closures is due to a contraction of demand in a scenario on offer.



Among the regions most affected by the number of closures are Andalusia (958) and Catalonia (1409). In Madrid, by far the largest ratio of Travel Agents has a per capita number of companies involved in the tourism sector, there has been a decline of 7.6% remained in office 1.811.

Experts in the field, before the much-vaunted emergence of "green shoots" in the economy believe that the demise of travel agents will continue during the second half of 2009. The closure will be charged once it is over the holiday period in Spain and demand still falls over.
