This new unified identity reinforces our commitment to innovation, sustainability and technical excellence, consolidating more than 25 years of experience in consulting, laboratory and environmental management.

Why NEXBIOLINEA?

Throughout our history, we have worked with two brands that have been benchmarks in their respective fields. Biolinea has distinguished itself by its focus on health and the environment, while ATA has brought a technical and specialized vision in water hygiene and advanced technological solutions. However, operating with two names created challenges in our communication and positioning.

NEXBIOLINEA arises as a strategic response to consolidate our value proposition under a unique and differentiated brand.

  • “Nex” stands for connection, evolution and innovation, reflecting our commitment to technology and applied knowledge.
  • “Biolinea” maintains our essence, recalling our origin and commitment to public health and the environment.

One Brand, One Unified Vision

With NEXBIOLINEA, we simplify our identity and strengthen our positioning in an increasingly demanding market. This transition allows us to:

✅ Greater clarity: a single name that encompasses our entire service offering.

✅ Greater competitiveness: We consolidate our leading position in consulting, laboratory and innovative solutions.

✅ International presence: A strong and coherent identity that conveys confidence and professionalism.

But this transformation also responds to the need to integrate new areas that we have developed in recent years:

🔹 Sustainability area: Our commitment to sustainability responds to the urgency of offering innovative solutions that minimize the environmental impact of our clients’ operations. We believe in a science applied to conservation and in strategies based on circular economy and resource efficiency.

🔹 Specialized training area: We have consolidated a training area designed to train professionals and companies in health, safety and environmental management. Our goal is to share knowledge and prepare teams to meet the challenges of the sector with solvency.

This change is not a break with the past, but a natural evolution that drives us to continue offering comprehensive and cutting-edge solutions to our customers.

The Future of Consulting and Innovation is  Here

At NEXBIOLINEA, we remain committed to quality, science and technical excellence. Our new identity reflects not only who we are, but also our vision of the future: a restless, innovative and constantly evolving team.Join us in this new phase. Welcome to NEXBIOLINEA.

How Can Hotels Prepare? In recent years, mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and the West Nile virus (WNV) have increased significantly in Europe, though they remain relatively rare infections. This rise is linked to climate change, which has brought longer summers, higher temperatures, and heavier rains, creating an ideal environment for mosquitoes to thrive in areas where they previously did not. Dengue and the West Nile virus: A Real Threat The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has reported that, so far this year, there have been over 700 cases of WNV across 15 European countries, resulting in at least 51 deaths. Older individuals and those with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable to severe complications from this disease. As for dengue, its presence in Europe is increasing, especially in southern countries like Italy, France, and Spain. This is partly due to the arrival of the Asian tiger mosquito, which has settled in various parts of the continent. Climate change has expanded the areas where mosquitoes can survive, but it is not the only factor. The increase in international travel has also contributed to the spread of diseases like dengue, bringing outbreaks from regions in South America, Asia, and Africa. What Can Hotels Do to Protect Their Clients and Staff? Health and safety at tourist destinations are everyone’s responsibility, and it is necessary to proactively integrate preventative actions with strategic sense for the benefit of public health and tourism. Tourist establishments can play a significant role in preventing these diseases, especially in geographical areas where outbreaks have occurred. Some measures that can be taken include:
Avoiding stagnant water: Mosquitoes often breed in areas with stagnant water, so it is essential to check and eliminate these points. This includes pots, vases, or any container that can accumulate water. Installing mosquito nets: Equipping windows and doors, where appropriate, with mosquito nets can help prevent mosquitoes from entering rooms and other premises. Recommending the use of repellents: Advising the use of repellents when necessary, especially in outdoor areas, is a simple but effective measure. Professional pest monitoring and control: Resorting to specialized companies to implement monitoring systems and mosquito control methods when needed is crucial to ensure that the establishment remains free of these pests. Clearly, prevention cannot solely rely on the establishment as infection can occur anywhere and at any time. However, adopting these and other preventive measures can help prevent localized outbreaks in the establishment and the destination in general. Conclusion: Prevention is Key The risk of mosquito-borne diseases in Europe is an increasingly present reality, and tourist establishments must be prepared to face it. Adopting preventive measures not only protects the health of guests and staff but also enhances the hotel’s—and the destination’s—reputation as a safe and responsible place.

Crespí expressed his pride in being able to continue responding to the training needs of the hotel sector. “Beyond the regulated training that existed, we have created a new training path that will give rise to profiles of essential workers to implement circularity plans in the sector. “This initiative not only improves the job prospects of young people, but also strengthens the sustainability and competitiveness of the hotel sector in the Balearic Islands.” Francisco Martorell Esteban highlighted the widespread concern in all sectors due to the lack of qualified personnel. “A clear commitment to training and education is needed. Many difficulties are being seen, as businessmen from different sectors tell us. That is why, as president of ASIMA, I believe so much in preparing qualified people, so that they can provide labor to the entrepreneurs who need it.” For her part, María Frontera stressed the importance of imperceptible but essential maintenance in the hotel sector. “To achieve that comfort so linked to innovation, one more step is required, which is why today HOTECMA takes a giant step, with the first Dual FP training in circularity.” In addition, he thanked the Impulsa Foundation for its collaboration in this project. The Minister of Business, Employment and Energy, Alejandro Sáenz de San Pedro, closed the event by highlighting the administration’s commitment to improving competitiveness and training on circularity issues in the tourism and hotel sector. The Dual Vocational Training program in Circularity is innovative and designed to train young people in the implementation and supervision of circular economy plans, addressing a significant gap in existing vocational training. This program, developed in collaboration with the Impulsa Foundation, is structured in several phases that combine theory and practice, ensuring that students acquire skills directly applicable in the work environment. The Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports, Jaume Bauzà, and the Regional Secretary of Labor, Employment and Social Dialogue, Catalina Cabrer, also attended the event.
