Bathing in a sunlit cascade of job opportunities, the vibrant Costa del Sol has witnessed a delightful swell in the sea of employment, with the tourism sector buoyantly employing a record-smashing 130,000 sun-and-service aficionados between April and June! The previous zenith of 2019 coyly retreated as the region outshone itself by employing an additional 3,000 merry souls, as confirmed by the wise owls at Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE).
Costa del Sol, alongside its equally effervescent cousin, Malaga province, waited for the summer's embrace with arms wide open, whisking away gloomy clouds with the promise of more tantalizing numbers set to dance under the sunlit sky of statistical reports soon.
Hold onto your sangria, as the data reveals a carnival of details! With the zest and spice of paella, bars and restaurants are the undeniable conquistadors of employment in this fiesta, enticing almost 75% of tourism’s workforce with the siren call of tapas and tintos. They pass the baton to the accommodating accommodation sector, a welcoming host to over 25,500 individuals during the frolicking period. Not far behind, the sectors of transport, leisure activities, and the trio of car rentals, travel maestros, and tour operators orchestrated employment for 18,093, 14,310, and nearly 5,000, respectively.
Prepare your castanets for the standout performance: the tourist transport, swaying with an electrifying rhythm of an 11% growth compared to the nostalgic tunes of yesteryear!
The phoenix of tourism, with feathers as bright as the Costa del Sol’s golden sands, soared skyward, accelerated by the influx of globe-trotters with passports stamped with wanderlust. The INE’s meticulous count unveils that 80% of the jubilant employees basking under the Spanish sun identify as Spanish, while a 7% crescendo in the symphony of full-timers adds to the melody of recovery and hope.
So, let’s toast with chilled glasses raised to the sun! To the Costa del Sol, where employment dances flamenco on the beach, and every job statistic is dressed in festive attire, celebrating the recovery fiesta with gusto and alegría!
