McKinsey:<\/strong><\/a> The Spanish tourism sector must start taking action now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consulting firm McKinsey<\/strong> makes an interesting assessment of why the Spanish tourism industry cannot wait for the pandemic to pass before beginning to take measures towards recovery. It suggests that, for example, companies could start to intensify their digitalisation efforts and explore more cross-sector collaborations, while local governments could take a more proactive role in tourism management, promoting the attractions of the destination, fostering cross-sector collaborations, and re-training the work force.

How consumers see the brand\u2019s meaning is what really matters<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand concept can only exist through a \u201cshared meaning\u201d, that is, there must be a certain degree of agreement between the company and consumers about what it means and represents. \u201cIf there is no agreement, there is no brand\u201d, states Paul Bailey, brand strategic director at the British agency Halo and Brand Strategy Insider<\/strong> contributor. According to him it is irrelevant how much a company invests in saying what the meaning of its brand is if people do not believe it. (EN)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Iberdrola and Naturgy maintain stable growth and good financial results. Enel’s subsidiary, Endesa, on the other hand, was more affected, and this is reflected in the group’s results.
