The continuous price increases recorded in various products and especially in fuel in recent days, could not fail to affect leisure centres, says speaking to the Cyprus Times, PASIKA Secretary General, Phanos Leventis.
Already some restaurants are changing price lists by increasing the prices of their products, which affects the pockets of consumers and puts businessmen back on difficult paths.
As Mr.Leventis when asked to comment on the increases, these are the result of the double "hit" of both the pandemic and the war that came at an extremely critical time.
"Where we used to say and believe that in 2024 we would be in better shape as an industry and start to make profits by overcoming the effects of the pandemic, now with the new increases and the war again we are in an extremely difficult spot and we don't know when things will get better," he said.
At the same time, he urged businessmen to be restrained in any increases while keeping prices at reasonable levels.
"The increases in meat, grain and essentials are certainly affecting restaurants, but solutions to save energy and money should be found. So we will organize various seminars for our members that will help in how to manage and save," he noted.
On the problems facing the industry, he said.Leventis also informed the Commerce Committee of the Parliament.
