点评:I’ve been visiting this place in those beaches for the past five years. I’ve told all my friends and acquaintances about them and I’ve seen how popular this beach has become and how crowded it is now in 2024.
This year there has been a new umbrella fee introduced on all of the bars here. And the official reasoning behind it is the rise of the operational costs, but at least in my opinion, it is not the proper way to battle higher operational costs with fixed fees for something that you used to sell for at least a decade as an included in all of your consumption.
This is how you transform a popular tourist destination into a tourist trap.
The proper way to fight higher cost is by raising the prices of your product or service. Let’s take frappe for example as one of them popular Greek drinks. In 2018 one frappe cost €2.50. In 2024 it costs between €5 and €6.50. In the same time one club sandwich with fries cost €7. Which is simply ridiculous.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the place. I love the beach. I love the atmosphere, but I decided not to go to the Seaside at my own country exactly because of such fixed fees and ways to make me pay unreasonably priced services.
If it wasn’t for those fixed fees, my review was going to be 5 out of 5 stars .
翻译:过去五年来,我一直在这些海滩上游览。我告诉了我所有的朋友和熟人,我看到了这片海滩变得多么受欢迎,以及 2024 年现在有多么拥挤。
今年,这里的所有酒吧都引入了新的雨伞费。官方给出的理由是运营成本上升,但至少在我看来,用固定费用来对抗更高的运营成本并不是正确的方法,因为你过去至少销售了十年,并且包含在你所有的消费中。
这就是你把一个受欢迎的旅游目的地变成旅游陷阱的方式。
对抗更高成本的正确方法是提高产品或服务的价格。让我们以冰沙为例,它是希腊最受欢迎的饮料之一。2018 年,一杯冰沙的价格为 2.50 欧元。2024 年,它的价格在 5 欧元到 6.50 欧元之间。同时,一份带薯条的俱乐部三明治要 7 欧元。这简直太荒谬了。
别误会我的意思。我喜欢这个地方。我喜欢海滩。我喜欢这里的氛围,但我决定不去自己国家的海边,正是因为这些固定费用和让我支付不合理价格服务的方式。
如果不是因为这些固定费用,我的评论将是 5 星中的 5 星。
