Dear friends,
last week I had to contact everybody in my mailing list to inform them about safety status in our hotel for this season. I got many responses back and thank you everybody for your support. I also got one mail back with a different opinion wich I would like to answer in public just to put things in the right order.
The answer was the following:
------------------------------------------------------------
Hello!
Thank you for your email.
1.Will you also get tested regularly every few days, are you not infected?
In order to protect your guest? yes or not? I don't think so!
2.Please do not segregate people, who are tested, not tested, vaccinated or not!
3.Are you sure and you trust vaccine which produced after few mounth without any testing? Do you know that the manufacturer is not responsible for the side effects and is exempt from compensation for the victims?
When you are vacinated you also infect other people!
4.Requiring a test, a vaccine, discriminates against people!
By the way to loose customers.
5.Last year were loose beaches without tourist, when you and your govermnet not change your behavior and thinking then the situation will be the same.
------------------------------------------------------
Here is my answer to all these questions wich many people may have.
1.Yes I will get tested every week in order to protect everybody in my house.This will cost me much money but it will won't cost lives.That simple.
2.I am not segregate people. The law does. Worldwide the law about tourism is specific: the hotel owner can deny to host a guest who may suffer from an infectious desease. That simple.
3.Yes, I will get vaccinated, I know the risks but it is my choice. No I do not know the side effects, i am not a doctor. What I know is that people are dying.That simple.
4.We are not a public place, we are not a charitable institution.We are a for-profit private business and we make money for living. We know we will lose guests but this is a choice we make and a risk we take. Still we will lose guests, not lives. By the way, my house my rules, take it or leave it. That simple.
5.My government does what thinks better for their people. If you think yours do it better then stay where you are.We have enough problems already, we don't need more.And maybe we should do something more: forbit the entrance to those who expect from us to change our behavior and thinking but never willing to follow international laws or changing their own behavior and thinking.That simple.
I know that many of you have different opinion.I respect this.
I know that many of you don't like what I say.I also respect this.
But nobody forces anybody to visit a place.It is a free market,there are many choices around. You like the place and the terms and booking conditions?Fine,you go. You don't like it?Fine again, you don't go. That simple.
This is my personal opinion as a hotel owner but also as a traveller.
Sincerelly,
