The Seville and Province Hospitality Association has reported a favorable assessment following the Copa del Rey final, held last Saturday in the Andalusian capital, emphasizing the significant economic boost for the sector.

The sporting event attracted thousands of fans and visitors, resulting in intense activity for bars, restaurants, and other hospitality establishments. Throughout the day, many venues reached full capacity, with a festive and respectful atmosphere prevailing in the streets of Seville.
The association highlighted the harmonious atmosphere experienced in the city, which reinforces Seville's image as an ideal destination for major sports and leisure events. The absence of significant incidents and the civic behavior of attendees were key factors in this positive outcome.

"Uncontrolled consumption in public spaces, especially the illegal street vending of beverages, remains a recurring problem that creates unfair competition."

Despite the good results, the hospitality sector has once again raised concerns about uncontrolled public consumption, particularly illegal street vending of beverages. They deem it necessary to strengthen measures to address this situation and protect regulated businesses.
Furthermore, Seville's organizational capacity was highlighted, as the city returned to normal just hours after the match began. The positive impact of the final was not limited to hospitality, also benefiting sectors such as commerce, food, transport, and suppliers, representing a significant international promotional opportunity for the city.
