The hoteliers of our province are aiming at the gradual expansion of the tourist season. This will happen, explains the president of PASYXE Famagusta, Doros Takkas, with small and restrained steps.
According to Mr. Takkas, the goal in the new year is for most hotels in the two tourist resorts to reopen, if possible, around the end of March, which will strengthen the tourist traffic in April, something that did not happen in previous years.
"If that happens," he said, "we will be in full swing next April." "It also adds that if some hotels remain open until mid-November, it means that for us the season has expanded by almost a month."
As he explained, in the summer of 2019, some hotels remained open in the first days of November. "This year they may remain more open or a few more days," the PASYXE president is optimistic. Meanwhile, hotel units that remain open in the winter are waiting for football teams from abroad to train.
"And this year, according to local authorities, we expect teams from Russia, Romania, Armenia, Switzerland, Serbia, the Nordic countries, Poland, Lithuania and China to choose Ayia Napa for their training." due to the good climatic conditions prevailing at this time ”. This fact, they explain, gives a significant boost to winter tourism and the local economy at the same time.
