Ventura says:
Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in the world. As a rental premium accommodation that mainly we have had the privilege to have the honour to have hundreds of guests from USA, we would like to know when do you think the families will be able to come to visit us and stay in our rental flat, www.thefortysix.com.
Thank you,
Ventura & Nuria
Vincenzo Cristiano - AJL Consulting says:
Dear Ventura & Nuria,
We are also based in Barcelona and we are seeing the consequences of the crisis first hand.
We discuss a little bit about it in the DATA panel, it will depend mostly on countries/cities regulations and the different restrictions that they will apply. Hopefully we will see some movement as more countries begin to open their borders.
Feel free to reach out if you have further questions.
