The opening of the long-awaited Maritim Hotel in Amsterdam has been postponed once again, following a major setback during a safety inspection.
Amsterdam is once again at the centre of a dispute over mass tourism. A coalition of residents has filed a collective lawsuit against the municipality, accusing city leaders of ignoring their own rules on controlling mass tourism.
Even though Europe's tourism sector remains difficult, Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs announced it will keep its financial target for 2025, expecting an adjusted EBITDA of more than 180 million euros, and setting a new goal of 270 million euros for 2030.

Global construction activity in the commercial property market remained stable at a low level in the second quarter of 2025. User demand is rising slightly in Europe, including in the hotel sector and in Germany. However, the market is still in a period of uncertainty.
For decades hotel performance was told through three numbers: occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. Since 2025, another number is rising in importance: revenue per square meter (RevPSM). For Dutch hoteliers, facing an increase of VAT, RevPSM must become a strategy. A question of life or death warn experts.
Authorities in Ibiza are claiming an unbelievable victory in a battle. More than 14,500 unlicensed tourist beds have disappeared from the island's market after a sweeping campaign that combined political muscle, millions in funding, and the use of artificial intelligence.
The Spanish hotel group Barceló has acquired an 80% stake in the Portuguese group Rusticae. This move sees it strengthen its position in the rural hotel sector and local experiences.
The Serviced Apartment segment is also expected to see a lot of movement until the end of the year – mainly due to the current strong consolidation process throughout the German hospitality industry.
