THE sewage crisis is hitting tourism.
Online reports of the island’s no-go beaches have robbed seaside hotels of their major selling point and have led some holidaymakers to consider staying away.
‘Tourists are already very concerned and I’ve had calls from the UK after they have read the story on the internet,’ said Mark Frost, who owns L’Eree Bay Hotel.
‘People are thinking of cancelling their holidays. It’s a great deal of concern. There’s not a lot I can say to change their minds as it is there in black and white.’
