Lloret hotels will spend 1.5 million euros to purchase a desalination machine and allow their guests to bathe in softened sea water. The region has declared a state of drought emergency and prohibited its hotels from filling, and even topping up, the levels of their swimming pools using tap water.
While waiting for desalinated water, the hotels have filtered and recycled last summer's water, supplemented by a few rare showers. The Town Hall takes care of the administrative paperwork, while the financial cost is covered entirely by private players in the sector. But the swimming pools are already open in Lloret: while waiting for Desalinated Water, the hoteliers have recycled last year’s water, supplementing it with a few Rare Showers. The town is the second most visited destination in the region after Barcelona, with 25% of overnight stays by French customers. The urgency was to send a call for calm to tour operators and tour operators to direct customers to our hotels. “Book your vacation with us, you can swim in peace,” says a representative.
