Business updates: Tres Puntos Café closes and Seville venues win capacity ruling

Tres Puntos Café, a business located in Maracaibo, Venezuela, has announced its permanent closure after nearly 11 years of operation. The decision follows a 72-hour temporary closure ordered by municipal authorities after a sanitary inspection. The establishment clarified that the inspection findings did not involve food preparation areas or the kitchen, but were instead concentrated on an attic used for storing unused equipment and objects.

In Seville, Spain, a judicial ruling has allowed nightclubs and party halls to recover up to 25% of their lost capacity. This follows the annulment of capacity calculation criteria imposed by the Seville City Council in April 2024. The Association of Hoteliers of Seville noted that the previous municipal regulations had caused significant economic harm to businesses by drastically reducing their permitted occupancy levels.
