Hoteliers and traders enjoyed this long Ascension weekend: 33 million overnight stays and three billion euros in turnover were made over these four days, according to the company Pro Tourisme. Europe 1 takes stock from Ouistreham traders, in Normandy. “We have been waiting for five months. This Ouistreham ice cream parlor has never faced so many customers. This week is very interesting for his money flow.
The same observation in the Adelaide campsite, full all week: “Of course, prices are more expensive on public holiday weekends and long periods and it all depends on demand. This year, there will be a good season .” The night costs 350 euros for the best rentals, so 100 euros more than usual.
800 seats per day
The restaurants are also full. Stéphanie is the owner of La Moulerie in Ouistreham: “This weekend was very busy. We broke records. It’s ten years since we’ve ever done that, in five days almost 800 covers a day. C “Yes It’s great for conversion. but it’s very difficult on a human level.”
A plate of mussels and fries costs 15 euros on average, multiplied by 800 covers. Every day, Stéphanie won 12,000 euros without counting starters, desserts and drinks.
Income of customers
Also a great week for Yann, a restaurateur in Lion-sur-Mer, but he thinks it could be even better: “I had to refuse at least 200 people for each service. to lack of workers. Despite this disadvantage, the sea traders are smiling from ear to ear as they talk about the benefits that this bridge will bring this week.
