Hello, here we are after a few weeks since the last interview, in the meantime there was the feast of Passover, in your Hotel Jesolo Ettoral you worked?
For the Easter holidays we are opening our 3 star hotel Jesolo and test the potential of the upcoming summer season which is now next to begin. The flow of people during the Easter holidays in Jesolo was good, and the hotel is filled. The number is not very significant, difficult to interpret what will be the real trend of the tourism market in 2011, analyzing the data in these three days of Easter. The signal was encouraging, if nothing else, and allows us to hope for a positive when the season starts.
Excuse me the question maybe a little 'banal as it affects the weather in the number of tourists? In cities such as Florence, Rome and Venice itself are perhaps less penalized by the lack of sunny days, but in Jesolo Lido, as it affects the persistence of rainy days?
I must say that the weather affects a lot, it often happens that due to the continuing adverse weather conditions of many hotel guests decide to leave early and some even want to cancel your reservation with a considerable economic damage to the hotel and the city of Jesolo Lido. In summers past, there have been marked by very adverse weather conditions due to rainfall that persisted for weeks. Luckily they are events that occur infrequently but are able to bring down the whole economy of the resort town of Lido di Jesolo and with it most industries.
Returning to the difficulties of management of the Hotel in Jesolo Lido which it believes are operating expenses that impact most on the business budget?
The largest item of expenditure, which definitely has a bigger impact in the management of a hotel in Jesolo, is the cost of personnel. For a 3 Star Hotel with 56 rooms that offers customers the full board, which is that of how availability beyond the bedroom, breakfast, lunch and dinner plus the beach service included, you must have a number of staff to ensure the proper functioning of all services. Can you even imagine that it is necessary to optimize the 4-month duration of the summer to be able to cover all operating expenses, and obtain a profit margin that allows the structure to cover all maintenance costs during the remaining months in which the hotel is closed.
In the 70 and 80 for a hotel in Jesolo allowed a family to live comfortably without too much trouble. Early 90s we began to glimpse the first signs of negative change in the number of tourists I mean the flow of tourists to Lido di Jesolo from other European countries. Many British stopped to spend the holidays in Jesolo, as well as we were the first signs of decline in admissions of the Germans and Austrians the true backbone of tourism in the city of Jesolo.
How is it that triggers this mechanism of decrease of number of tourists, I am referring to Austrian German and English? What were the determining factors?
The argument is a bit 'Overall, if you are not a problem it would be better to spend a' good interview in order to analyze the phenomenon of international tourism.
