The restaurants in Cyprus are also waiting for the start of the Euro, looking forward to an increase in their work due to the football fans who choose the team view.
The president of the Pancyprian Federation of Leisure Center Owners Associations of Paphos Neophytos Thrasyvoulos (OSIKA) in his statements to KYPE said that many companies are waiting for the start of the European Championship on June 11 championship and enjoy their drink. The European Championship, he continued, attracts Cypriots, but tourists are also showing interest since the hotel units do not have giant screens to display the championship. Asked about this, Mr. Thrasyvoulou said that the Euro is a good tonic for businesses involved in beverages and snacks.
In addition, he noted that there are companies that live from the championships. In addition, several leisure centers, in addition to the giant screens, pay subscriptions to promote major sporting events, which are of wide interest to the public.
Besides, Nikos Simmilidis, owner of a coffee shop, stated that in every European Championship it is flooded with people, especially if the teams of Greece and England have good performances. To this end, he continued, many cafes enhance their spaces with extra TVs. He specifically, as he said, has eight screens to serve football fans. He added that some restaurants even buy giant screens to keep their customers.
The owners of the catering centers note that especially this year when the pandemic hit the world economy, the European Championship hopes that it will help increase their income.
