The tourist occupation has been at about 80% during the early days of Purisima in the Val d’Aran, according to data provided by the Consèlheria de Torisme e Desvolopament Economic and Baqueira Beret ski resort, which plans to sell up 40,000 forfaits today.
In the absence of definitive data, the conselhèra Anna Diaz, has welcomed these figures. “If we add hotel stays and visitors from second homes, we find between about 22,000 and 25,000 people, generating a significant economic impact not only in hotels, but also in all establishments in the Val d’Aran as shops, restaurants and bars, and supermarkets. ”
Also, the sindic d’Aran, Carlos Barrera, has remarked that “the structures of the emergency services, both health and fire in the Val d’Aran have worked normally and with security during these days”
