Elsewhere, in Malaga, as tourism and travel begins to increase, it has been announced that there is new tourist accommodation being made available that adapts the idea of micro rooms that adopt a two metres apart concept.
It is a very unique concept that will be available in December to tourists if all continues to go to plan. The room is set up in a way that the structures are two metres high and four metres in length while almost two metres in width.
It is a new structure that offers something different in the area and adapts the idea of sleeping in pods, a word that has been all too familiar throughout the COvid-19 pandemic. The idea will add to the new ideas and developments being made as the tourism and tourists begin to visit the country once again.
On the topic of tourism, over the weekend, Malaga Airport boss, Pedro Bendala, said he is very hopeful for the return of tourism after the airport suffered a drop in close to 15 million tourists compared to a normal year. Also announced over the weekend was EasyJet’s plans to expand it’s in-flight connections at the Costa Del Sol airport.
One thing is for sure and that is the excitement and optimism surrounding the reopening of the country, different industries and the world as a whole.
