MADRID: Devastated by the loss of customers during the virus crisis, around 40,000 bars, hotels and restaurants in Spain have permanently closed, the hotel and catering industry said Tuesday .
"It confirms our worst-case scenario," said José Luis Izuel, head of Hosteleria de Espana, at a press conference. Business was also terrible for restaurants in business districts of Spain's biggest cities, which have remained largely deserted due to people working from home. Speaking just hours after EU leaders approved a landmark 750-billion-euro virus recovery deal, industry leaders said they wanted"significant resources" for a sector that represents six percent of gross domestic product and about nine percent of employment.
