Carlos Diez de la Lastra, CEO of Les Roches Marbella, one of the oldest educational centers specialized in training hotel managers in the world, sends a message of hope. “The attitude of the British government is increasingly tepid. In the end, I do not know if they do not want it due to common sense or because they do not want to confront a tourist destination no less important than Spain and also with their citizens who want to go out and take a very firm political stance. ”
“The analysis is very difficult because Only they know the motivesBut it is true that resistance is occurring. Although we must not forget that they are no longer banned, as in the past, but they advise against, and we hope that they allow it with the precautionary measures and Dies de la Lastra explained that this is what we all expect in this sector.
