says it expects 53 million travelers this summer, about 3 million more than last

year. The company said today that demand is particularly strong for destinations tied to major events,

And Spanish police have arrested the son of the billionaire founder of Fashion Chain Mango,

Isak Andik, in connection with his death.

The arrest of Jonathan Andick comes after his father fell more than 300 feet during a hiking trip in 2024.

The two of them were alone on the hike.

Isaac Andick was Mango's chairman and controlled the family's holding company, which owned a 95%

Jonathan is now chairman of the family holding company, which he inherited along with his two

A spokesperson for the family says Jonathan Andick is innocent and that he would cooperate with

investigators.
