In Catalonia the administration has provided matching the Bolkestein directive (Entered into force last December 28) for this fall, so anyone may act as agent and they lose marketing exclusivity for the travel, tickets, etc..
As significant data are increased barriers to entry to the obligation to deposit a guarantee or bail of 120,000 €, today for retail was 60,000 €. (Whether or private company).
addition to this measure is enacted by the government of the Generalitat, the new classification of tourist offices, with full power to sell, distribute, and provide tourism services and products.
This picture, taken by surprise to many travel agents have placed all confidence in the associations, such as in its "constitution" states that are to defend the sector.
These facts undoubtedly change the map of tourism distribution in this country dramatically, incapacitates regulated, and regulates "deregulating at a stroke" that until now were known as intruders.
Analyzing the business structure, it is true that from which regulates the sector, it has remained immovable (in process of distribution) to adapt to market needs, is still doing the same for 40/50 years, besides the sector has seen in five years came new operators as well concentrations of large distributors (Falcon, Orizonia, etc.) emerge purchasing groups, and online agencies, new professions (SEO's, CRM's, Community Managers, etc.) Linked to the use of new technologies.
The current result is of great confusion in the marketplace, missing the supremacy of the information professionalized, this distrust, and offers no credibility and bidding wars and price have led to the breakdown and abandonment of traditional ways of belonging to "His travel agency life" once lost these values \u200b\u200b(trust, security, safety) that made the profession a social group is recognized and valued.
Many have not understood and least understood step of an industrial society, the technology, much less the transition state of the knowledge society.
On the one hand the legislators who are forced to implement policies that emanate from the European Parliament, on the other, the profound changes that the market has experienced a few years, it is not surprising that railed sector circles fatigue, helplessness, uncertainty and inability to meet these challenges
This fall will be difficult, beyond the crisis in which we are all immersed, of no use protests and complaints, decisions are already taken, although many still unaware of them.
comes a difficult time for many opportunities for others.
probably witnessing the imminent fall of the associations that have failed to lead or lead their partners in the right time.
purchasing groups are not meaningful because it does not provide any value in the distribution chain, it is clear that consumers are not willing to support a parasitic network. Possibly
a group if you get this post, triggered the anger towards me, nothing will change the vision that generates its occupation in the area of \u200b\u200bdistribution.
will have to remain vigilant in the coming days, months and be prepared to sector to welcome this administration no longer complies with the taxes, I must admit that I was always prepared to compete in the market, I never thought that would compete with the administration of my country. Currently
Greetings from Costa Brava
