Germans, Czechs, Hungarians, Slovaks... many people have lost their jobs, the businesses have almost stopped and you can see, that people don't buy more, than they actually need (and sometimes even less, than they need).
I'm afraid, that there'll only be about 100 000 people (estimate of our ministry of work, social affairs...) travelling on their holiday abroad this year from Slovakia... most of the people will settle with their own possibilities (lakes in Slovakia, Balaton and other in Hungary, thousands of people will invade our mountains (Tatra and Carpathian mountain region)...).
As I've said already, the business has stopped and it's not likely to move, unless all the reserve materials, products etc have been depleted.
O, Jack
I dont belive is such black scenario. One way or other many Slovaks will get here. We are famous destination for last minute guests. Only thing that is going to be much different is lenght of vacations. There is going to be more 5-7 days shifts than usuals 7-10 days. At leest that is what it looks like now, we have had a more tourists from Easter till now than last year but they are staying shorter time.
If U decide to visit I can arrange U accomodation and special member discount in one of ours rentals in Baska Voda.
Regards
