70% of the hotels in the Province of Famagusta "reached" the fullness in the last days, culminating in the three days of the XNUMXth of August.
According to the President of PASYXE Famagusta Doros Takka for the hotels that are open, which are estimated at 30%, the traffic from last Friday, today and for the rest of the week we arrive is very good, the fullness reaches and exceeds 70 %.
Next week is expected to be particularly dynamic, as Mr. Takkas added, a fact that particularly pleases the hoteliers.
"Our main market, he explained, is Cyprus and then there are AD countries, German-speaking countries, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland and some other small markets. Until recently we also had Poland, which unfortunately has been relegated to category B, as well as Norway. "We also have other small markets like the Czech Republic."
In any case, he stressed, the "hassle" left by the coroner pandemic can not be covered by these few days when tourist traffic is increased, while he said that there is intense concern about the course of the coming months.
"We are really wondering how we will be able to keep the hotels open in September and October" and added that "given that no new markets are entering, we can not see a horizon after August 24 - 25"
Asked if the hoteliers are optimistic that Englishmen, who are traditionally a dynamic market for the province, can reach our island, he said that for the British, it is that they have to do a coronary test, it is a deterrent, therefore, he said no there are high expectations.
"We started accepting bookings from the British," he said, "but in very small numbers."
Regarding the prices in the hotels, Ms. Takkas said that this year our province has very economical packages and the proof is the large numbers of Cypriots who choose to spend their holidays in our province.
