BUSINESS AWAITS TOURISTS

May has ended but so far tourists are not coming in large numbers . Last year the World Cup and bird flue had a bad impact on the season but this year hopes were high.

There are no reasons why this year should be bad but business so far is suffering from an absence of tourists visiting the shops and restuarants.
