AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoHospitality Heat Rules: Spain’s new hospitality collective agreement tightens terrace operations during extreme heat (AEMET orange/red warnings or 42°C+), pushing shift changes, water access, and possible terrace shutdowns unless protection systems are in place. Tourism & Spending Pressure: Mallorca restaurants saw a ~14% turnover drop in the first two weeks of August, with fewer customers and lower average spend. Outdoor Dining Fallout: With heatwave conditions pushing later schedules, Spain’s dinner times are sliding further into the night, reshaping nightlife demand and restaurant booking patterns. Packaging Overhaul: EU rules are phasing out single-use plastic condiment sachets in hospitality (with a 2030 ban on certain portion packs), nudging venues toward paper, reusable options, or shared dispensers. Wine & Cellar Trends: The Wine Society rolls out a specialist fine-wine service aimed at helping members buy, cellar, and access allocations. Food Culture Events: Nerja’s Balcón de Europa food fair returns for a second year with regional stalls and free live concerts.
