There is an open source alternative to Notion and Google Docs. And its value is where you store your data

by

France and Germany have joined strength to create something uninpected: Docscollaborative and open source software that seeks to reduce dependence on US services. And incidentally, guarantee the control of sensitive information. Why is it important. For European public companies and administrations, maintaining sensitive data away from American servants is not only an economic issue, but a strategic priority. US legislation allows its authorities to access data stored by national companies, even if servers are physically in Europe. This involves a problem for confidential government information, sensitive documents or personal data protected by GDPR. In addition, European governments want to reduce the dependence of this type of platforms. In detail. Docs is not just a service highly similar to others that already exist, such as Notion either Google Docsbut it incorporates functions specifically designed to adapt to the requirements of public institutions. The project is part of ‘The numerique suite‘, an initiative that also includes vision, an alternative to Zoom or Google Meet. The platform allows: Real -time collaborative edition with offline support. Export in several formats (.odt, .doc, .pdf). Granular access control to guarantee security. Customizable templates for official documents. Functions of AI to generate, summarize, correct and translate content. The code It is available in github under MIT license, which allows not only its free use, but also its adaptation by companies that want to offer services based on it. And now what. The adoption of docs and other similar tools will depend on the level of institutional support and the creation of viable ecosystems around these technologies. If success will not only depend on its technical quality, but on the distribution, on the ease of implementation or integration with existing systems.

I have changed the Apple calendar for Notion Calendar. Now my data and my time live under the same roof

by

Notion introduced its calendar application, Notion Calendar, at the beginning of 2024. I was interested, and much, but limit to Google calendars left me out: most of my events occur in ICloud calendars. Ten days ago they finally announced the integration with ICloud, and there I was, as a user of Notion For years to see how this proposal was and if it is worth making the leap from Apple’s native application. They are not the functions, but the unification My first impression was surprisingly positive. The application is fast, very fast. In me MacBook Pro M1 Proalmost four years ago, the speed with which it opens and the fluidity when navigating between days, weeks or months is impressive. It contrasts remarkably with Apple’s calendar that, without being slow, does not have this feeling of lightness and agility. The monthly view interface throughout its glory. Image: Xataka. The interface is minimalist without feeling empty. It maintains that characteristic air of notion with its soft and white gray tones, but retains its own personality. Visually it is much more pleasant than other calendars such as Google Calendarwhich prioritizes functionality over aesthetics. If you are one di noi And you are looking to optimize every second in front of the screen, the Calendar Notion keyboard shortcuts are a gift. “S” to share availability. “C” to create an event. “T” to go to the current day. “W” to activate the weekly view. “M” for the monthly. It is an approach that is clearly designed for users who prefer not to take off the hands of the keyboard. As Things A function that has conquered me is Availability management. Before, when someone wanted to meet with me, I had to manually send my free holes or use tools such as Calendly That, for some reason, they always made me feel a little impostor. With Notion Calendar, I select the available time blocks, generate a link to the moment and voila. One of those little friction of the day to day that disappear. The availability function. The white holes (not gray with stripes) are the ones that we establish as available. With sharing the link that appears to the right we can facilitate another person our gaps available for a meeting. As an integrated calendly already demands. Image: Xataka. The management of time areas is also remarkable. For those of us who work with people in different parts of the world or when we are organizing a trip, we can see our calendar with multiple schedules at the same time is canonical. And here, Notion does it much more intuitively than Apple’s calendar. Nevertheless, where notion calendar takes muscle is in its integration with notion, in its way of unifying information and time. It is an independent calendar for those who do not use notion, but that integration is the key to this proposal: generate ecosystem, not independent islands. The strategy behind the calendar What we are seeing with Notion Calendar is not just a new calendar application. It is one more piece on a board where Notion is building a complete productivity ecosystem. First was the main application for notes and databases, now the calendar, and not long ago also arrived with Notion mailat the moment on the waiting list. What was previously a product, Notion, now begins to be the center of an ecosystem that continues to grow. Image: Notion, Xataka. Instead of putting everything in a single application that could be overwhelming, Notion is creating independent but totally interconnected applications. It is an intelligent strategy that allows them to compete in each category without sacrificing the user experience. True magic occurs when you link notion databases with dated fields to the calendar. Suddenly, all these elements appear directly on my calendar with my normal events. For example, I have a database with all scripts in notion of the podcastand each one has its publication date. Now I can see those dates directly on my calendar, mixed with my meetings and personal events. The database with the infinite loop scripts that I prepare every day. By including a publication date they have everything you need to appear, if I want, in Notion Calendar. Image: Xataka. This unified vision is not only practical, it is a paradigm shift. It allows to see the events and tasks in a temporary context that previously required several tools. And not only that: you can attach notion pages directly to calendar events. For a meeting I can link the agenda, previous notes or related documents, everything without leaving notion. Towards a more mature experience The iOS version is also very well achieved. Unlike many applications that simply reduce their desktop version, Notion schedule for iOS (It is also For Android) is really adapted to mobile experience. You can choose if you want to see 1, 2 or 3 days when opening the app, something much more flexible than the native calendar. Again: more than the intention of launching a calendar is intuited here. A strategy is intuited that fuses information management with time management. When I saw the initial announcement of Notion Calendar, my first reaction was a mixture of interest and skepticism. Do we really need another calendar application? The answer is in the objective: Notion is not simply building a calendaris building that bridge between information management and time management. It is as if Notion were saying: “You already have all your information organized with us, why not also your time?” And it makes sense. If you spend much of your day in Notion, having your integrated calendar right there makes everything more consistent. Is it worth who does not use Notion? Surprisingly, I think so. Even without taking advantage of integrations, it is a solid calendar application, well designed and with functions that exceed the Apple or Google calendar in several aspects. For me, in fact, he has already replaced Apple’s. And the most interesting thing is to see how Notion is evolving from … Read more

Large technological ones begin to turn with their investment in data centers

by

Everything was frenzy in the data centers segment a few weeks ago. The Big Tech fought to see What is the one that was spent more money facing the theoretical (and inevitable?) AI revolution. Microsoft was one of the champions of this bet, but the panorama is changing, and there are those who talk about how the segment has been oversized. 2 GW less. As indicated In BloombergMicrosoft has abandoned its plans to create several new data centers in the US and Europe. The joint power of these projects would be 2 GW according to analysts of the TD Cowen firm, and the reason attributed to the decision is singular: now it turns out that there is an excessive supply of clusters dedicated to artificial intelligence. Or what is the same: there will be enough data centers dedicated to AI. There is already talk of a “bubble of data centers”. Joe Tsai, president of the Chinese group Alibaba, He warned these days precisely from the potential existence of a bubble of data centers for ia. To this millionaire fever for these ambitious projects begins to seem indiscriminate, and highlighted how in some cases there may be no clear clients to direct those resources. Plan to invest 52,000 million dollars in data centers, but within three years, therefore therefore of the 100,000 million dollars of Amazonthe 80,000 of Microsoft, the 75,000 Alphabet or the 65,000 finish In a single year. An exaggerated demand is being screened. This manager also spoke of the hypothetical investment of 500,000 million dollars of the Stargate project. “I think, in a way, people are investing anticipating the demand they are seeing today, but they are projecting a much greater demand (of which there may be).” China in fact accumulates unfortunate data centers. In Microsoft they relax their strategy. Redmond’s firm, said these analysts, has made this decision shortly after loosen ties with OpenAicompany in which it has invested around 13,000 million dollars. That will cause the company led by Sam Altman to go to cloud services of other partners. Google and Meta take the opportunity. The withdrawal of these projects assumes that Microsoft has annulled some of those contracts and postponed others. Interestingly Google and Meta seem to have taken advantage and have appropriated some of the projects that Microsoft has abandoned in Europe. The details of the projects from which the firm has been withdrawn are not known, and neither if that change of plans could affect projects already signed such as data centers They are already announced in Aragon. We already have enough. A Microsoft spokesman indicated in a statement to Bloomberg how the company has already made a significant investment. “While we may reduce or strategically adjust our infrastructure in some areas, we will continue to grow strongly in all regions,” he explained. “This allows us to invest and assign resources to growth areas for our future.” In recent times we are also seeing how climbing no longer compensates so much, and GPT-4.5 is a good demonstration of it. What about ambition. At the beginning of the year we knew that Microsoft expect to invest 80,000 million dollars throughout fiscal year 2025 in the construction of new data centers. These intentions are maintained according to their spokesman, but they hope that the growth rate should slow down the next fiscal year, and the efforts will focus on filling those server data centers and other equipment.

China accumulates unfortunate data centers, and it is not the only

by

When Chatgpt broke into the scene in November 2022unleashed one of the most intense technological careers in recent years. Companies and governments rushed to take positions so as not to stay out of the rise of the artificial intelligence. In the center of that reaction were the data centers: key infrastructure that make it possible to train language models that shape chatbots and other AI -based applications. American giants such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta They announced the expansion of their infrastructure beyond their borderswith millionaire projects that also arrived in Spain and They unleashed authentic fever for this type of facilities in the region. The AI ​​earthquake also shook China, where the central government declared its development as a national priority and promoted the creation of new infrastructure to sustain it. The data centers boom begins to stagger According to IDC analysis firm databetween 2022 and 2024, more than 200 projects linked to data centers focused on artificial intelligence were tendered, distributed in 28 provinces and 81 Chinese cities. The growth rate shot against previous years, with a wave of “intelligent computer science” initiatives that not only sought to strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure, but also promised to boost local economies. There were several well -known names in this part of the world: Alibaba, Bytedonce – the Tiktok matrix -, Tencent, Baidu or Deepseek, all betting hard for this land. The objective was clear: if artificial intelligence was going to mark the future, China could not afford to be left in front of the United States. In order not to lose positions in this race, the Asian giant needed to move fast, very fast. Although neither companies nor governments said it openly, each new project was announced with full awareness that technology was not yet mature enough, and the business model, either at all defined. The bet – as it usually occurs in this type of initiatives – was based on the expectation that, sooner or later, it will generate a relevant economic value, either directly or indirectly, for those who are promoting it. Despite the millionaire investments in new data centers, China’s enthusiasm for large -scale linguistic models is losing strength. As Mit Technology Review collectsmore than half of the recently built computer resources remain without using. To this situation are added factors such as the lack of technical and market experience of many of the actors who bet on this type of infrastructure for being a trend. The result: dozens of smaller data centers are looking for customers willing to pay for their use, but the truth is that, although China is a huge market, demand is not responding as expected. The large technological groups in the country are already dealing with their own infrastructure, and smaller companies, instead of training their own models in these centers, are opting for payment solutions for use. Finally, they point out that many of the data centers built in recent years were designed thinking about pre -entry workloads, that is, long and demanding processes that require huge volumes of data. However, the current demand focuses on inference: executing models already trained to offer real -time responses. And that is where many of these infrastructure are not prepared. A phenomenon that extends beyond China According to TD Cowen analysts cited by BloombergMicrosoft would have canceled new data centers projects In the United States and Europe. The company has not made official statements, so it is not yet clear what facilities would be affected. However, experts point to a concrete cause: the reduction of commitments with Openai, the startup of AI in which Microsoft has invested billions. For years, Openai depended exclusively on Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure. But that changed recently, when opening to other computer suppliers. In parallel, Microsoft maintains plans to invest 80,000 million dollars in data centers during its current fiscal year, which ends in June. Even so, analysts expect that investment rhythm will later decelerate an unexpected movement. Images | DC Studio | Scott Rodgerson In Xataka | Personalized GPTS are one of Openai’s great inventions.

SoftBank will pay 6,500 million per ampere. A new war chapter for data centers has just been written

by

At the beginning of last February the interest of the Japanese Softbank investment group was made public in The acquisition of the chips designer American ampere computing LLC. This last company is specialized in the development of Processors for serverswhich already put at that time on the table SoftBank’s intention to expand your business in large data centers. It made sense in a context in which the rise of the artificial intelligence (AI) is promoting that these facilities multiply at full speed. Just a month and a half later that strategic movement has established itself. According to your own AmpereSoftBank has just closed your purchase. He will pay 6,500 million dollars for this company and will have one more letter in the presumably prosperous business of the data centers. This investment group is The Arm owner since 2016; At the beginning of last October Invested 500 million dollars in Openai; And, in addition, it is one of the companies that lead The Stargate program with which the US seeks to sustain its dominance of AI. The war for data centers for AI is already underway The large technology companies that are involved in the deployment of AI are facing multimillion -dollar investments to develop their data centers infrastructure. Microsoft has confirmed that 80,000 million dollars will be spent during the fiscal year of 2025. and Google, 75,000 million. On the other hand, the Stargate program budget that I have mentioned a few lines above rises to no less than 500,000 million dollars. This is the cake from which SoftBank is being able to seize. At least a good portion. Ampereone chips will reach 256 nuclei for 2025 and presumably have a very competitive energy efficiency However, to achieve it the companies that control, or control in the short term, such as ampere, whose processors are implemented on ARM technology, will have to Compete with Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Google or Amazon. In any case, the ampereone chips, which are being manufactured by TSMC in their 3 nm node, will reach 256 cores For 2025 and will presumably have a very competitive energy efficiency. These are his great buzas against the proposals of the competition. The current situation is triggering something that is worth not overlooking. As Dan O’Brien has observedthe president of the American Futurum consultant, technology companies are forging strategic alliances with the purpose of molding the industry to their measure and maximizing the economic performance of their investments. As we have seen, SoftBank is the owner of ARM. On the other hand, Oracle has a very significant participation in Ampere, which will soon belong to SoftBank, and which is ARM client. In addition, all the companies in which we have just repaired, SoftBank, ARM, Oracle and OpenAi, participate in the deployment of the infrastructure required by the Stargate program. In any case, This network of dependencies does not end here. As we have seen, SoftBank is an important OpenAI investor, and this last company is Oracle’s partner and is trying to develop His own chips for ia. Finally, to curl the curl further, rumors that defend that Oracle is interested in buying Tiktok, a company that belongs to the Chinese company bytedance persists. SoftBank also has an important participation in the latter. As O’Brien argues In his tweet “everything is connected (…) It is fascinating to see how the technology titans shape the industry.” Image | Ampere computing LLC More information | Ampere computing LLC In Xataka | The B300 GPU is the new Nvidia beast for Ia.

How to look and review your fiscal data for the statement you will make in 2025

by

Let’s explain How to access and review your fiscal dataso that you have the option to verify what has a farm on your fiscal year 2024 in order to make the statement in this 2025. This is one of the most important previous steps of the 2024 rent calendar, and it is vital that you review it before accessing the draft. We are going to start the article by telling you what they are for and Why are tax data so importantso that you understand the reasons why you should review them. And then, we will tell you in a simple way how you can access them to consult them. What are your fiscal data for Fiscal data are The information that Hacienda has about you. In them you will see basic data such as your name and address address, but you can also find information about your open bank accounts, your furniture capital, your heritage earnings, the donations you do during the year, what work you have and what is your salary, or your quotes to Social Security. These are The data used by the Treasury to generate your draft For the income statement, so that if everything is fine you can present it directly. These drafts are not made by a person, but are automatically generated. And there is always the possibility that Hacienda collects some data erroneously in its databases. This also means that If your fiscal data is wrong your draft will be wrong. And this is not good, because in the event that you present a draft declaration with data that are wrong You will be punished with a fineeven when the draft has generated the hacienda itself, because the responsibility of reviewing them is yours. That’s why It is important that the data is updated and that they are all correct. And that is why this step is also vital before making the statement, because by making sure that your fiscal data is correct then you can submit the declaration much faster from the draft. Fiscal data will not be able to modify them with this procedurewhich is purely informative. The data They are only modified after generating the draft income. But doing this previous job You will already have the errors located To change them then when you have the draft. Thus, all the verifications you have to make can be done previously, and when the draft the process of changing everything will be much faster. How to see your fiscal data on the web To access your fiscal data, you must enter into The 2024 rental campaign website of the Tax Agency.

His first data revalidates Einstein and put the dark matter on the map

by

The Euclid telescope, launched in 2023 by the European Space Agency, has finished overwhelming its first great task. Designed to make a map in detail of the universe To help us understand dark matter and energy, Euclid has been analyzing three regions of heaven from point L2 of Lagrange. Despite being just the First mission data setwhich will extend at least until 2030, the European space telescope has already detected 26 million galaxies, some of which are 10.5 billion light years. Now the team, aided by volunteers and learning algorithms for reinforcement, has begun to publish the most complete and detailed map of the distribution of objects of the universe, which includes huge clusters of galaxies, bright quasars fed by supermassive black holes and gravitational lenses that divert the light of farthest objects. A first look at the Cosmic Network A deep field image of the Euclid space telescope Galaxies are not randomly distributed. They form a structure called Cosmic Network, similar to a web, whose filaments are made of ordinary matter and dark matter. Dark matter does not emit light, but affects the way galaxies are formed and evolved. Euclid accurately measures the shape, size and distance of galaxies to understand how the cosmic network is organized. He map that is makingwhose first three pieces have just completed, will be key to finding out what dark matter and dark energy are really. We know that dark matter exists because it gravitationally affects galaxies (it turns them faster than expected). And we know that there is a dark energy responsible for accelerating the universe. But they are a mystery. Different types of galaxies classified by human volunteers and the AI ​​of ESA Since its deployment, Euclid has sent 100 GB of data daily. It is impossible to manually classify each image, so scientists resorted to artificial intelligence and citizen science to classify 380,000 galaxies. 10,000 human volunteers collaborate in galaxyzoo.org To teach a so -called Zoobot to identify the different forms of galaxies. The volunteers classify the objects (“spirals”, “with arms”) and their responses are used to reset the AI ​​or readjust the accuracy of the algorithm. 5,000 strong gravitational lenses Gravitational lenses detected by Euclid One of the aspects that most excite scientists in the first Euclid data set are gravitational lenses. Euclid has already detected about 5,000 possible strong gravitational lenses, very rare objects that form obvious visual effects, such as arches or Einstein rings. These curvatures of space-time, predicted by the theory of general relativity, allow to observe distant objects that would otherwise be invisible, helping to understand how dark matter is distributed. It is expected that at the end of the mission, Euclid has identified about 100,000 strong lenses, multiplying the amount we currently know. Questions to solve The Euclid space telescope had a complicated deployment due to the accumulation of ice in its lens, but the ESA engineers managed to solve any setback. The results published today demonstrate the very high sensitivity of the telescope. During the next few years, Euclid will observe between 30 and 50 times these regions of the cosmos, accumulating more and more information and discovering new galaxies and phenomena. Added to the observations of the newly released NASA Spherex Telescopethe information we will have of the universe will increase exponentially. With the most detailed map of the universe, scientists will try to understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe, and how they relate to each other, while solving other transcendental questions: what is the structure and history of the cosmic network? How has the expansion of the universe changed over time? Is the theory of the gravity of Einstein complete, or does it need large -scale modifications?

What is and how to avoid falling and that your data is stolen

by

Let’s explain WHAT IS THE TMO OF THE FALSE SMS OF A PACO WITH EL Corte Inglésa new scam that has begun to reach many users. The goal is to alarm by informing you of a false payment and lead you to a false website where you can get your access data. In this article we will explain how this scam works, and also where it seems to come. Besides, we will teach you Identify this type of deceptionwhich is very important to know that they are trying to scam and be able to avoid it. What is this type of scam A few days ago we found that the database of The English Court had been hacked. In this event Banking data were not compromised No user passwords, but other data such as telephone numbers seem to have leaked. Taking advantage of this confusion and the one we can not be very sure of whether our card has been filtered or not, a group of cybercriminals is sending some SMS in which They tell you that a purchase has been made with your account. In this same message you add a web address in which they say you can claim if the purchase has been a mistake. The SMS includes as title “Financiera Corte Inglés”, with which they try to confuse you to pass through this entity. In addition, they have altered the name of the sender so that some acronyms that may correspond appear. This is the first step to confuse users. In addition to this they use other tricks, such as including an amount of money large enough to alarm And try to make panic and hurry to lower our guard. They also add a web address whose URL contains the name of this entity, although the domain is a totally different one. The address points to a website that in some cases will already be blocked by your browser, but that can be A clonic page where your user data is requested or your bank data. The idea is that you write them and send them voluntarily. Although for those who already have knowledge of this type of scams, the deception is more evident, the cybercriminals have to send these messages massively, and that among the thousands of users to whom they are sent by there are some who pique and who can steal the account or their bank data. How to detect this scam The first clue that the SMS is false can be in The composition of the text itself. It is usually written in an incorrect or unprofessional way, even with some point where there should be a comma. This should be something that already caught your attention. But the most important thing is look at the web address included In the SMS. In the body of the direction you can put some name that refers to El Corte Inglés, but notice that at the end of the link there is a URL that does not correspond. By this I mean that if an address has a point in the middle, the main website to which it is what appears after the name. For example, if you have elcorteingles.paginafalsa.com, even if you put ELCORTEINGLESthis is a subdomain, as a secondary page, and the main one is what appears after the point, in the case of our example .paginafalsa.com. The real messages of the Financiera El Corte Inglés also begin by putting FinancialCorteinglesand this is something that cybercriminals have imitated. Normally the company will not include any web address In your real messages, and it is something that you must take into account. The best thing in these cases is that, given the doubt, you enter the web manually of financialelcorteingles.es either elcorteingles.es To look in your account if there is any payment. The website always writes manually, and Never enter from the link of an SMSbecause it is what cybercriminals want.

Netflix is ​​not worried that users cancel the subscription. The data reflect that, sooner or later, most return

by

How is it possible that content platforms on demand They rise in price year and year also if every time users cancel (or say they cancel) their subscription? It’s curious. Normally, in another context, it would be that price increases and foreseeable cancellations affected companies, but Netflix does not seem that it matters. Rather. Context. Despite price increases and the wave of cancellations that comments on social networks usually imply, the reality is that Netflix’s benefit It was 10,247 million dollars In the fourth quarter of 2024, 16% more than the same quarter of the previous year and the best result since 2021. Was the users canceling their mass subscriptions? If we understand “mass cancel” as in the United States only 19 million subscribers arrive in the fourth quarter of 2024 when Netflix expected 9.8 million, then yes. Comes back. According to data from the Analytical analysis company to which it has had access Business Insiderthe reality is as follows: price increases cause cancellations, yes, but users do not take long to return. The case of Netflix is ​​also curious because this “repentance” is greater than on the rest of the platforms. The data. According to Antenna, 50% of users who cancel their subscription subscribe at six months. If we expand the time range until the year, the percentage rises to 61% of users. In other words, six out of ten cancellations recover after the year. In the case of having canceled a price increase, the return will be with updated prices, ergo paying more and compensating in some way the cancellations not recovered. Moreover, it is most likely that user who returns to opt for a cheaper plan, but with advertising. 55% of the new highs They choose that modality, in fact. The data reflects that the Netflix subscriber recovery rate is much higher than that of its competitors Netflix vs the world. The consultant’s data shows that Netflix’s recovery rate is much higher than the average of the rest of the platforms. While at six months Netflix recovers 50% of users, the rest of the platforms barely recover 34%. In the case of Netflix it is also striking that two out of ten cancellations recover in just one month. There is a roof. Netflix has not stopped innovating in its programming, moving from series and films to also offer sports and live events. 300 million subscribers give good faith that this has worked, but everything has a limit. Netflix seems aware that 1) continuing to grow will be complicated and 2) “As we continue to invest in programming and offer more value to our partners, we will occasionally ask them to pay a little more to be able to reinvest and continue improving Netflix.” That is to say, that prices will continue to rise. Netflix knows that continuing subscribers will not be easy and maybe that explains that from now Don’t give that figure. We will know numbers of audiences, view, benefits, growth, etc., but not how many subscribers do Netflix have. Most likely, we will not see that data again until the 400 or 500 million are reached, very publicitable figures and from which the platform can breastfeed.

If you have the feeling that hotels are more expensive than ever in Spain, the data is right

by

If you have the impression that hotels are more expensive than ever, no, they are not your impressions. As the sector grows in Spain and the flow of foreign tourists reaches record levelsanother key indicator for accommodations also rebound: prices. Grow. At a good pace. Above Even inflation. And do so coinciding with A boom of the tourist floors that has already led to the administration to take action by Its impact In the residential offer. The data are of course revealing. A fact: 94 million. 2024 was a good year for Spanish tourism. Or at least this is reflected by the data handled by the Government, which in January He checked Due to the figures harvested by the sector: throughout 2024 the country received about 94 million foreign visitors, a record balance that exceeds the data of 2023 by 10% and arrived accompanied by a 16% rebound in spending, which in counting and sound money translates into around 126,000 million of euros. The Ministry of Industry and Tourism Trust In addition, the streak is maintained in 2025. Its estimates suggest that during the first four -month period will receive 26 million tourists, 9% more than last year, with an even more pronounced rise in spending. Things are somewhat different if we talk about the trips of residents in Spain, than in The third quarter Of 2024 they suffered a slight fall. January data 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2O19 Daily average rate (ADR) € 112.8 104.9 95.7 85.7 62.2 82.1 81.4 Hotel Price Index (IPH) 141.9 133.7 124.2 112.1 95.2 106.5 105.4 Income by available room (Revpar) € 64.1 58.9 51.7 33.7 12.6 44.6 43.3 And prices? The flow of tourists imports, but it also matters the evolution of prices in hotels. And the INE data are in that case even clearer: the so -called daily average rate (ADR), which shows the daily average income obtained by occupied room, has grown at a good pace in the last years. The data varies depending on the month (as does the flow of tourists), but if we take as a reference August the progression is clearly appreciated: in 2024 it was 146.9 euros, in 2023 of 136.8 and before the pandemic, in 2019, it was at 109.3. In December it was 117, the largest ADR at the end of one year. Are there more clues? Yes. The income by available room and what the INE calls “Hotel price indices” (Iph). The latter is an interesting clue because it shows the evolution of prices that apply to customers housed in hotels, from the optics of the offer and including both normal rates and those charged on weekends in professional circuits, such as Turoperadores, large groups and companies. In December 2024, the iPph was 144.8 compared to 137 of the same month of 2023 and 109.7 of 2019, just before the pandemic. In general, it is the highest indicator for a year closure of the entire historical series, which starts in 2002. In its analysis, the INE takes into account all LPS Hotels, from the most basic to the five stars. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Going down even more in detail. A few days ago economist Ángel Talavera shared in X A series of data of Oxford Economics and Hover Analytics that help to better understand how hotels prices in Spain have evolved over the last five years. Specifically, it indicates the last rise in the rates, but above all its increase with respect to those charged before COVID-19. “Already almost 40% above prepandymia prices, which represents 20% more expensive by adjusting for inflation,” Precise The expert. Your data They reflect an increase in income from available room even greater, of almost 50%, and they arrive accompanied by some interesting reflections, such as the businesses that rise most are precisely those most expensive and cheapest, standing out with respect to intermediate accommodations. Comparing with the CPI. Another of the keys indicated by Talavera is the evolution of the cost of accommodation with respect to the evolution of IPC and the differences between them. The expert appreciates a clear “decoupling” Since mid -2022, with a significantly higher increase in hotel prices. The data The Ministry of Industry and Tourism also help to get an idea of ​​the evolution of the General Price Index and the specific tourism and hospitality. The trend is especially interesting in recent years, coinciding with the rise in rates in accommodations, largely driven by destinations such as Marbella or Ibiza, with historical prices. The data correspond to full years, except in the case of the current exercise. And what are the reasons? There are several keys. The economist points out an especially interesting: the double speed at which national and abroad tourism progresses. The data of Hotel occupation The INE shows that while the second grew 8.2%, that of the residents experienced a slight fall. TO The less at the country’s lodging receptions its number decreased 0.7%. Among the foreigners, the arrivals of the United Kingdom, Germany or France, countries with a per capita income higher than the Spanish. Over the last years the sector has also been marked by The boom of holiday rental, which has already forced the administration (both The central as at the level regional and local) to move file to control its impact on the residential market. The INE also shows how the Price index Tourist apartments has increased sensitively. Images | Martijn vonk (Unspash) and Segitur In Xataka | Spanish tourism faces the real risk of dying of success.
