The data point to a slowdown in new business registrations, while bankruptcy declarations are moving upwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For the hospitality sector and, more specifically, accommodation and food services, the data show a <strong>decline<\/strong> in registrations and a slight decrease in bankruptcies, in an environment where developments are not uniform across all sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n<h2>What the data show by sector<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Business registrations in the EU <strong>decreased in 5 out of 8<\/strong> sectors of the business economy. The largest decline was recorded in industry (-3.6%), followed by accommodation and food services (-3.4%) and education and social services (-3.2%).<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">By contrast, an <strong>increase<\/strong> in registrations was recorded in the information and communication sector at +8.8% and in construction at +1.0%, while financial services remained stable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In terms of bankruptcies, Eurostat reports an increase in 5 out of 8 sectors. The <strong>largest increases<\/strong> were recorded in education and social activities (+21.1%), transport (+11.4%) and financial services (+6.8%).<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Decreases in bankruptcies were recorded in <strong>accommodation<\/strong> and <strong>food services<\/strong> at -2.6%, in construction at -1.7% and in trade at -1.2%.<\/p>\n<h3>Why it matters for the hospitality market<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For hospitality, accommodation and short-term rental professionals, the key point is not only the overall picture in the EU, but also the fact that the accommodation and food services sector was among those that <strong>recorded a decline<\/strong> in new registrations. At the same time, bankruptcies in the same sector declined marginally compared with the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Eurostat\u2019s data provide a <strong>quarterly picture<\/strong> of business activity and do not, on their own, explain the reasons behind the changes.
