Tourism industry considers legislation for condo-hotels
Condo-hotels or condominium hotels are all the rage. The subject has been thoroughly analysed recently everywhere from business lunches to meetings and even at the Mesa del Turismo, a body of professionals from the Spanish tourism industry. Everyone agrees that the condo idea presents a new business opportunity - one which has been successfully operating in the USA for a number of years - but which needs to be controlled by legislation. Professionals believe that the formula has advantages such as offering greater profitability for hotels, more job stability for employees and a way of keeping a businesss head above the water during the low season. Certain Town Halls have produced their own legislation concerning the condo formula, for example Torremolinos has laid down a series of conditions to guarantee that a building maintains its hotel use.

WASHINGTON, April 5, 2007 - Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns today discussed details of several proposed 2007 farm bill changes that will streamline USDA's Rural Development programs and expand funding for rural health care and community facilities. "During the Farm Bill Forums, our rural development programs got top grades across the country, but we think we can do even better," said Johanns. "Our proposals would bolster the efficiency of our rural development programs and infuse funding needed to ensure our Rural Critical Access Hospitals, which are essential to the communities they serve, are able to provide top notch care. Additional funding would go to broader community needs, ranging from water systems to distance learning capabilities in schools." USDA is proposing funding to support a $1.6 billion loan program to help rehabilitate as well as update facilities and equipment at Rural Critical Access Hospitals.
