The Meliá Hotels International results for 2019 were greatly affected by a combination of extraordinary events of very diverse origin, particularly in the Caribbean, and more specifically in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, both significant contributors to results. Other events such as the coronavirus in China have so far had only a moderate impact on company results, given that all of the five hotels in China are operated under management agreements, although the company remains very cautious with regard to the evolution of the heath crisis.
