Political Turmoil Has Greater Impact in Choosing a Holiday Destination than Fear of Terrorist Attacks

Analysis carried out by Makespain.com demonstrates that the recent political instability in Barcelona, Spain, sparked a greater concern than the August 2017 terrorist attacks for those wanting to visit the city

Due to Barcelona's significant slowdown in sales to foreign tourists during the last quarter of 2017, Makespain.com, an online travel agency specializing in travel to Spain, has prepared a detailed report to compare the impact on its activity on the tourism sector in Barcelona. This report presents figures, ratios and graphs that provide a true reflection of the reality for tourism demand in Barcelona in Q4 of 2017 and Q1 of 2018. The aforementioned quarters do indeed coincide with political instability in Barcelona.

The report shows an important negative impact of the political situation on the interest of travellers visiting the city of Barcelona. This impact has also occurred following a period of growth in tourism from the previous years and has been much higher than that of the terrorist attack which occurred in Barcelona in the month of August 2017.

In the last quarter of 2017 the search for flights to Barcelona fell by 4.37% from 2016. This fall, if we consider the upward trend of the first half of 2017, shows a real decrease of 16.58% as a result of the political situation.The fall in Barcelona´s touristic activity meant a loss of income of 6 million Euros per day in the last quarter of 2017

The search for accommodation, activities and tours in Barcelona has also been impacted. The most notable case is the tourist apartments. We see for the first time that the number of searches for information and bookings of touristic apartments in city of Madrid, Spain, surpassed that of Barcelona.

The decline in the interest to visit the city stems from the tourist´s fear of the city´s instability. Click here.

"We were surprised to see that the impact of the August bombing was much lower than that of the sovereignty process. It seems that people are getting used to living with the horror of an attack while the prolonged situation of a political crisis causes many people to consider that demonstrations, protests or altercations can impact the expected enjoyment during their vacation "– says Luis lechuga, CEO of the portal.

Be alert to the latest news.:

The report has included the analysis of other tourist destinations, not only in Spain, but cities such as Paris, London, Rome and Madrid in which a positive progression was observed in the period analyzed.

"It is impossible to determine who is the winner of a situation like this since the business loss in one destination is split at many others. There are many competing destinations and when the tourist has doubts, he or she will simply leave aside a destination that can involve a risk and opt for another which is their list of places to visit, "explains Luis lechuga.

Makespain.com sells and operates tours from Barcelona and 95% of the demand comes from foreign tourists. The greatest concern for operators of these or other specialized tours is to understand what impact a prolonged situation can have on time.

The report shows that the first quarter of 2018 has experienced a recovery from the suffered falls in the last quarter of 2017. Despite it being 3 months after the peak moment of the political crisis, the negative impact on the interest of visiting the city of Barcelona still persists. In the case of the terrorist attack, the interest in visiting the city and booking reservations recovered just after 3 weeks.

New Book! “Obeying Divine Commands: Toward Understanding the Polygamous Marriage of the Honorable Louis Farrakhan, the Messiah, Part Three”

This book describes the progressive nature of the Honorable Louis Farrakhan's work, as the Messiah, in guiding humanity out of the darkness of false social concepts into the Divine Light of the new ideals for proper human development. Marriage is among the most important of these concepts. Why? The value of marriage is immeasurable because it is at the root of "family," which is the basic unit of civilization. Producing strong families, therefore, is a major objective in bringing about the prophesied Eternal Kingdom of Peace.

Allah, through the Bible and Holy Quran, has issued divine commands regarding marriage and divorce. As such, these scriptures show how the Messiah, after having been among the people for a lengthy period of time teaching the divine message of truth, is required to impose divine commands on the people. This book delineates this Reality, which is also stated in Sura 65:11, "A Messenger who recites to you the clear messages of Allah, so that he may bring forth those who believe and do good deeds from darkness into light…".

As it relates to the Messiah, this book explains why His polygamous marriage transcends government statutes related to marriage and divorce. This, no doubt, is a point of significant contention for the Messiah's enemies, who have already scornfully characterized the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's polygamous marriage as illegitimate.

Allah's primary concern is whether the Messiah obeyed the divine ordinances in the Holy Quran, and not what HIS enemies believe, feel or assert regarding the Messiah's private life. Why is this? Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, is the Orchestrator of His marriages, as affirmed throughout the Holy Quran. This book discusses the divine ordinances that govern marriage and divorce.

Philadelphia Weather is in Prime Time for Summer Storms and Homeowners Need to Protect Trees from Damage with the Top 4 actions for Tree Service from Giroud Tree and Lawn

As Philadelphia weather continues to heat up, the odds of having a major summer storm also intensify. These high wind and rain storms often result in massive tree damage requiring emergency tree service. Giroud Tree and Lawn provides the Top 4 Actions homeowners can take now including tree trimming, tree cabling, hazardous tree removal, and treating tree health.

"A summer storm is like a lion attacking the weakest animal in the herd," says Lou Giroud, President of Giroud Tree and Lawn and ISA Certified Arborist. "Like the lion, summer storms are a force of nature that prey on the weakest trees, tossing huge limbs and slamming entire trees onto homes, cars or other valuable property."

How does a homeowner know if a tree is weak? "The best approach is to have a professional tree service with ISA Certified Arborists check tree safety now," says Mr. Giroud, President of Giroud Tree and Lawn and ISA Certified Arborist. "An ISA Certified Arborist will look for cracks, decay, excessive deadwood, structural defects and other problems."

The Top 4 actions for tree service to prevent summer storm damage are tree trimming, tree cabling, hazardous tree removal, and treating tree health.

1. Tree Trimming: Professional tree service crews are trained to thin crowns and remove crossed, weak and dead branches to ensure high winds can easily move through the tree.
2. Tree cabling: Trees with multiple trunks or weakly attached limbs are prime targets for splitting. Tree cabling keeps limbs and trunks secure. A professional Arborist will select the appropriate cable system and ensure it is installed at the right height and tension,
3. Tree Removal: Trees that are dead or have unstable root systems are hazardous and must be removed. Considered the most dangerous operation performed by a tree service, tree removal requires professionals with the knowledge and equipment to safely remove trees even in the most challenging locations.
4. Treat Tree Health: Deep root feedings along with insect and disease control will keep trees healthier enough to stand strong against rough summer storms.

Homeowners can keep their trees healthy with regular pruning and inspections, which will ensure trees have the best chance of survival against high winds and heavy rains. In Giroud's video, ISA certified Arborist Rob Nagy shows what can happen when a tree can't stand up to the strength of a storm and how it lead to a big problem on one property in Elkins Park.

Summer storms can hit without warning. All trees near a home or other valuable structure need to be thoroughly evaluated for safety by an ISA Certified Arborist. An evaluation is often free. The potential to save the homeowner from extensive tree damage is priceless. The resulting tree service recommendations which may include tree trimming, tree cabling and hazardous tree removal will ensure homeowners can keep trees and property safe. Read related news now.

Before choosing a tree service company, homeowners need to check the company's references, professional credentials and insurance coverage. Ask for a written estimate and the company's customer satisfaction policy. These simple steps will help to ensure the tree service is done to professional standards and the homeowner is satisfied with the end result.
