For the past few days, Kathy Collabo has been busy putting the seven bungalows and one dormitory in order, which make up her Néwéjïé gîte, in the Ina valley in Poindimié. The recovery is being organized and it will take place this Tuesday. ” We do tidying up, cleaning, housework … because there was containment but also the cyclone. We put everything in order, because there are still health rules that will continue », Launches the manager of the lodging.
Diversification
Like other local tourist structures, the turnover of the lodging fell a little over a year after the first confinement. ” We have more than 80% losses », Continues the manager.
To continue its activity, monthly or weekly rentals are offered within the structure, to compensate for losses. ” We have a few requests from people who come to do internships on Poindimié, lasting five weeks, that should at least help us to cushion the costs. We also rent monthly, this is a formula developed after the first confinement ».
In total, around thirty people can be accommodated on site.
Gradual reopening
This Tuesday, the gîte’s doors will be reopened gradually, ” because we will have to continue the disinfection, and we reopen completely, from the following Monday », Specifies the manager.
As soon as the deconfinement was announced last Thursday, three people had already reserved their place to spend a moment of complete freedom, in the Ina valley.
