Chance of the calendar, the dates of the first sales of the year are identical in France and lands. The first period began on January 20 and will end on March 2. A measure rather well received by customers. “It’s a very good thing (…) It’s a good decision because there is an influx of people in town, those who no longer leave“, says Charles.
For traders in the city center, the clientele was there last month, but in recent days checkouts have become rarer. And for some, the closure of our borders with the United States in particular is not helping their affairs. “We welcome many tourists from boats or by plane. They come to buy, a lot of local t-shirts“, explains Jenna Choung, store manager.
For Guy Loussan, former president of the association te fare toa no Cathédrale, the measures taken by the government and the CCCISM have made it possible to cushion the effects of the crisis, particularly in the third quarter of 2020.
