Hotusa fully repays the loan it received due to the COVID crisis.
The chain liquidates the last 56 million of the 241 it received
BarcelonaThe hotel chain Hotusa has fully repaid the loan it received from the State, through the public company SEPI, to address the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. The company chaired by Amancio López Seijas has repaid the last 56 million of the total 241 million it received in 2021.
Having repaid 100% of the aid, López highlighted SEPI's commitment to allowing companies to overcome a complicated situation like COVID, which is on its way to a halt. The loan, he added, "has been decisive" in enabling the hotel chain to maintain "its usual pace of activity in an extraordinarily complex context."
