Tourism creates foolish dreams

In Seville tour operators are demanding that hotels reduce prices by up to 60%. Tourism in Seville, as in the rest of Spain is decreasing seriously- But at the same time there seems to be real hysteria to build/open five-star hotels in town. Right now, there are six in the works. OK. How come we need six new hotels deluxe if Seville´s modest income tourists are less? Why do we need six new five-star hotels when the Colón and the Alfonso are rarely full? Come on! Seville isn´t Madrid or Barcelona so the big money tourists or convention-goers are not going to come here in masses like birds or schools like sardines. Before, there was a bank branch on every corner, now there are dental clinics on every corner and it would seem that tomorrow there will be five-star hotels taking up those spaces. Progress is so sublime when not stupid.
