The number of tourists in the area has grown by 9.5% with respect to the same period last year which is particularly good when you compare it with national average increase of 3.5%. Even better, the tourists are spending 17% more money than last year and are staying 18% longer. The result is 80% occupancy of hostels in the area for July and a predicted 85-90% occupancy for August.
These are not British tourists though; the poor exchange rate is keeping them away. Instead it is the French and Germans who are saving the day for the region's economy.
It will be "Welche weise es zum strand ist?" and "Quelle manière est lui à la plage?" rather than "You know where the beach is mate"?
PS From past history; the Germans are good at commandeering beaches and the French are poor at defending them. So it will be up to the outnumbered Brits to save the day.
