For many years, tourism boards chased one thing, and one thing only: Increased arrival numbers. It didn’t matter how long visitors stayed, or how much they spent, only that the number kept going up and up. In a world seeing locals pushed out of their own cities by short-term rentals and historic heatwaves causing wildfires and other disruption, there’s been increased focus on sustainable travel.

The Middle East and North Africa’s mobile economy is projected to reach €421 billion by 2030, but a new industry report highlights a persistent problem: economic growth is accelerating, yet millions of people still are not benefiting from the digital economy. GSMA’s Mobile Economy MENA 2026 report, released on the opening day of MWC26 Doha, revealed that mobile technologies and services generated an estimated €340 billion in economic value in 2025, supporting 2.2 million jobs and contributing around €35.8 billion to public finances. Meanwhile, 48% of MENA’s population used mobile internet last year, while 49% remained offline despite living in…
The last time Spain’s two biggest unions called a general strike together, in November 2012, the country was deep in an austerity crisis. Fourteen years later, Spanish workers will try to bring the country to a halt again. This time, the grievances are about the basics, and they sound much the same in Madrid, Paris, Brussels and Rome: rents people can afford, wages that keep up with prices and public services that work. The 24-hour walkout called by the Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) unions for Wednesday comes 18 days before Spain’s snap general election on…

Published on 10 November 2026 – 5:29 GMT+1 Exports from the world’s second-largest economy have surged in recent months, driven in part by soaring global demand for artificial intelligence-related products including computer chips, data centre servers and networking equipment. The trade boom has offered Beijing a key economic lifeline as domestic activity is weighed by longstanding woes in the once-roaring property sector. The figures come ahead of another high-stakes meeting between President Xi Jinping and US counterpart Donald Trump at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in China next week. Exports jumped 35.2% year-on-year to $412.3 billion last month, according…
