Επικοινωνίες ξενοδόχων με tour operators και γραφεία

- Πάρτε μετρητά μαζί σας στην Ελλάδα, λέει στους Άγγλους τουρίστες ο Βρετανός υπουργός Οικονομικών George Osborne

Να περιορίσουν την ζημιά στον ελληνικό τουρισμό, και τις μονάδες τους βέβαια, επιχειρούν πολλοί ξενοδόχοι επικοινωνώντας με tour operators και τουριστικά γραφεία που συνεργάζονται.

Χωρίς να αποκαλύπτουμε τα στοιχεία των ξενοδοχείων, για ευνόητους λόγους, παρουσιάζουμε δύο τέτοιες επιστολές, που σίγουρα συμβάλλουν στην εξομάλυνση της δύσκολης κατάστασης.
Από την άλλη πλευρά, ευτυχώς, οι διάφορες οδηγίες κρατών αφορούν μόνο σε διακράτηση μετρητών από τους τουρίστες που έρχονται στην Ελλάδα και σε καμία περίπτωση σε οδηγίες αποφυγής της χώρας ως επιλογής διακοπών. 
Τελευταίο παράδειγμα ο υπουργός Οικονομικών (σ.σ. και όχι καγκελάριος βρε παιδια ήμαρτον, καλό το google translator, αλλά...) της Βρετανίας George Osborne, ο οποίος συνιστά στους Άγγλους τουρίστες να έχουν μετρητά μαζί τους στην διάρκεια των διακοπών τους στην Ελλάδα.

Διαβάζουμε στο καλό ρεπορτάζ του Travelmole: "Chancellor tells holidaymakers Chancellor George Osborne has advised holidaymakers to Greece to take hundreds of euros in cash amid fears that the country's ATMs will run out of money following the decision to close all banks until July 5. "We hope for the best, but we are preparing for the worst," said Osborne late yesterday, as he also announced help for British pensioners living in Greece and support for exporters suffering cash flow problems. The Foreign Office is advising holidaymakers to take enough euros in cash to cover the entire duration of their trips, emergencies, unforeseen circumstances and any unexpected delays. Greece has imposed a €60 limit on ATM cash withdrawals, although this doesn't apply to holders of foreign credit and debit cards and the Greek government is attempting to reassure tourists that their trips will be unaffected. The Foreign Office is also warning holidaymakers of the possibility of protests across the country on Sunday when Greece, which is widely expected to default on a €1.6 billion loan repayment to the International Monetary Fund today, will hold a referendum on EU austerity measures. Osborne said if the country voted against accepting latest proposals from its creditors, it would be voting to leave the euro. UK bank HSBC closed its 15 branches in Greece on Monday and they are expected to remain closed until the referendum on July 5.
Οι επιστολές των ξενοδοχείων
