Disturbance prevails in the tourist agents after the placement of Cyprus in the red list, where, on their return to the United Kingdom, they will have to be restricted for two weeks.
According to Famagusta.News, the President of PASYXE Famagusta and the CEO of Tsokkos Hotels, Chryso Tsokkou, this development has troubled both British tourists and hoteliers in the area, who are currently mostly in their hotels. are British tourists.
Doros Takas: "Closes ignominiously in 2020"
According to Mr. Doros Takka, 2020 is closing ignominiously and that this development is the gratuitous shot for tourism, with a number of hotels already preparing to close. In addition, he described the event as a tombstone of winter tourism, as the few tourists in the area are of English nationality, while he certainly believes that they will not be replaced by new tourists. What matters, he stressed, is that Great Britain is "out of the game for Cyprus".
Chryso Tsokkou: "Second thoughts if the hotels remain open"
For her part, Chryso Tsokkou told us that there was a disturbance among tourists, after the announcement of the British Government. It was reported that some of the tourists will definitely try to return to the UK before Sunday, as they will have to return to work, while others, mostly retired, may not be affected by the development. The only sure thing, as he pointed out, is that there will be no new arrivals in tourism, which makes hoteliers think twice about whether some hotels will remain open during the winter.
Unpleasant is the new development regarding our tourist area, with the cost that seems to allow the pandemic in tourism to increase more and more, with it unknown what will follow in the next period.
It is pointed out that around 15 to 20 hotel units remain open in the province of Famagusta. Most of them would close around the end of October and in the middle of November, while only 2 hotel units would remain open during the winter. Nevertheless, it remains unknown how many of these hotel units will remain open.
