British holidaymakers traveling to Spain this summer may face bars and restaurants that have closed due to staff shortages.

Some bars and restaurants in popular resorts like Benidorm are understaffed and already need to shorten or close their business hours throughout the day.

Industry leaders currently estimate that the resort has around 4,000 vacancies, but a combination of factors such as poor working conditions fill the vacancies.

There is growing concern that around 50% of current roles will not be filled by the peak of summer. This means that tourist areas may struggle to meet demand.

The Spanish government said low wages, poor working conditions and long working hours contributed to a shortage of workers.

Some have pointed out that the cost of living in a resort is based on the salary of the friendly workers as a result of hiring people to work.

However, the Spanish Small Business Union denied the claim that more training should be given to maintain the role of workers.

He also said “shady” contracts and “lack of awareness” could also play a role.

But Alex Flattini, a spokesman for the Benidorm Association of Bars, Restaurants and Cafes (Abreka), told the Sun that money was not an issue.

“The salary of waiters in Benidorm is around €1,200 per month. And there is a lot of advice, especially when it comes to English. Each waiter earns about €300 a month,” he notes.

Alicante is not the only shortage of workers in Spain. As of April, there were more than 17,000 unfinished hotel jobs across the country.

By the end of July, more than 39 million tourists are expected to visit Spain, 7% more than the same period in 2018, but the Spanish tourism industry continues to prepare for visitors from the UK. Spain is expected to receive 8.5 million British tourists at the end of July, just 0.4% more than the same period in 2018, the slowdown of 2016 and the worst figures of 2018. I support it.

The staffing shortage comes after British holidaymakers are warned not to attend “illegal parties” that can be fined up to £000,85,000 at tourist attractions such as Mallorca and Ibiza.

The Githabul Ministry has resumed travel advice to Spain after “many serious accidents” in frequent unauthorized meetings in private homes and villas.

The British Embassy in Spain warns that these parties are not only without a license, but are common on the islands.
