Travel agencies in wildfire-hit areas of Spain now have a legal lifeline. UNAV and FETAVE have activated an emergency legal protocol that includes a kit with legal advice, guidelines to document damages and tracking of public aid, as reported by Hosteltur.

Affected agencies must fill out a detailed form reporting losses and impacted clients. César Gutiérrez, president of UNAV, stresses the importance of supporting the sector in these exceptional circumstances. My take: this is not just paperwork. It's the foundation for an agency to avoid being left alone against bureaucracy. If your business has suffered damage, fill out that form now. Moreover, the data collected will help measure the true impact of the fires on the industry. Hopefully other regions will take note and replicate the model.
