10:17 SLOVAKIA The opening of accommodation facilities for the vaccinated could save the winter season, say hoteliers.

Some hotels had New Year’s Eve reservations before closing them, but people are careful. “This process did not even stop, everyone believed that the winter season would be in some form, so the reservation systems would reopen. Christmas or New Year’s Eve are being prepared a long time in advance, so it will only be necessary to dust them off, “Blašková explained. New Year’s Eve reservations for hotels came before the Poprad district was reclassified as black, and thus before they closed. But while New Year’s Eve was sold out in October, this year is not the case.

“There is still a trend that reservations come at the last minute, which means that people, for example, book a stay for the weekend only on Wednesdays or Thursdays before it. Before that, it was possible even two weeks in advance, “said the director of the Regional Tourism Organization, High Tatras Region.
