Holiday chaos as hotel cancellations hit top destinations in Spain and Portugal
New Year's Eve was particularly impacted by holiday cancellations with top tourist destinations losing bookings. The period is normally a busy time for travel.
Hotels in the popular Algarve resort region of Portugal reported losing lots of bookings as holidaymakers chose to cancel.
Elidérico Viegas, president of the Algarve hotelier's association (AHETA) said ahead of the New Year: "Hotels started receiving cancellations after the latest restrictions were announced.
"Although we were feeling optimistic about end-of-year bookings, this is certainly no longer the case."
