Roses (ACN).- The Minister for Innovation, Universities and Businesses, Josep Huguet, called out to tourist agencies asking that they “reinvent themselves” and offer “creative” products to tourists visiting Catalonia. The minister assured that agencies are offering more and more products and that, therefore, those that are chosen must be the ones that offer services to visitors in an original way. Huguet stated that this summer has “surmounted” last year in respect to employment and overnight stays that hit more than 90% occupancy of the hotels along the coast and some 75% in the mountains. There has also been a rise in tourists from France, Britain, Germany and Holland.
