The meeting included key representatives from Inverotel and senior tourism officials in the margins of FITUR, the leading tourism trade fair held in Spain.

"This initiative represents the commitment of our largest investors to our workers’ well-being and professional growth, ensuring a sustainable future for both our employees and the sector," he added.
