Abstract

This paper focuses on the evolution of the hotel sector in Spain during the first Franco regime; specifically, in the reconstruction of the private hotel sector in an institutional context very different from the one that existed before the Civil War. The new regime opted for a strong intervention of the economy, this being the framework of action where an industry considered key to tourism development had to develop. For this reason, this study analyzes the difficulties that hospitality entrepreneurs had to face in those years, as well as the evolution of the sector.
