Eλλειψη εργα&tau ιοδυναμικοπληρτητα 75% σ&tau ;αξενοχεσΛεμεο <strong>The hoteliers of Limassol are facing the big problem called lack of labor this season as well, who are ringing the bells in the relevant Ministry as it intensifies its actions and efforts to solve the issue.</strong></p> <p >The issue has plagued the <strong>hotel industry</strong> for years, however in recent years and after the pandemic era, the issue has become more acute. Speaking to “F”, the President of the Limassol Hotel Association, Christos Tsanos, once again points out that <strong>the problem facing the hotel industry is huge</strong>and a thousand words and the procedures for both visa approval by the competent Ministry should be accelerated as well as the procedures for responding to the requests of hoteliers for the recruitment of foreign labor.</p> <p>On the one hand<strong> the tourist is asked to put hand in pocket</strong> to enjoy holidays in four- and five-star hotels and of course <strong> demands the best service</strong>from the staff, on the other hand the staff is reduced with the result that there is a risk that the tourists will not be served as they expect.</p> <p>As Mr. Tsanos explains “the serious restructuring of operating costs of hotel units such as<strong> electricity and lack of staff create a big headache</strong>for all of us. Staff are now hard to find with Mr Tsano insisting that the problem should be resolved at his base through a hotel training school which will also secure the future of the graduating student.</p> <p>There are ideas from our side, the issue is to be taken into account by the relevant body and to move quickly to solve the problem. The issue of labor shortage is huge with hoteliers making superhuman efforts to staff their hotel units with more staff in view of the summer season we are going through.</p> <p>Regarding <strong>reservations</strong> according to Mr. Tsano, <strong>they are at the same levels as last year,</strong>with the occupancy of the hotel units in Limassolfor June and July to reach 75%. The same scenario is recorded for the month of August, with reservations reaching the same levels as last year and occupancy reaching 85%. Hoteliers are pleased with the numbers but do not ignore the fact that there are two wars going on, in Israel and Ukraine, at the same time as energy and supply chain price increases continue.</p> <p>According to Mr. Tsano, tourist arrivals come from Israel, from Poland, Russian speakers, from the United Kingdom, while the list also includes a large number from Greece.</p> <p><strong>The upgrading of bus stops is imperative. and the cleanliness of the city</strong></p> <p>The President of PASYXE Limassol, Christos Tsanos, on the occasion of the changes that have taken place in the Local Government and with the election of the new Mayors and Deputy Mayors, brings back the issue of bus stops, especially in the tourist areas. “Both the local rulers and the relevant Ministry should take serious measures. I inform them that they will have a grace period, however, this huge problem must be resolved immediately.</p> <p>In relation to the cleanliness of the city, he argued that “Limesos must shine” with Mr. Tsanos proposing the creation voluntary initiative so that, in cooperation with the new mayors, the city can be cleaned of visual pollution, vandalism from smears and artless graffiti as well as fan slogans. “We are not honored by the images that our fellow citizens and tourists see every day. Actions must be taken on the first image the visitor sees (first impression, always first). I call on the President of the EOA, the new Mayor of Limassol as well as the other bodies that are aware of the issue, to all act immediately for the good of our city.</p> <p>source: Philenews</p> <p><noindex></p> <div class=Source: 24h.com.cy
