Χρεωκόπησε το lowcosttravelgroup, με σημαντική παρουσία στην Ελλάδα

Χρε­ω­κό­πησε χθες το βράδυ και ανέ­στειλε την λει­τουρ­γία του ο αγγλι­κός δια­δι­κτυα­κός και last minute tour operator lowcosttravelgroup.
Δυστυ­χώς, ο συγκε­κρι­μέ­νος οργα­νι­σμός είχε σημα­ντική παρου­σία στην Ελλάδα, κυρίως σε Ρόδο και Κρήτη, μέσω σοβαρών γρα­φείων.
Είναι ενδει­κτικό ότι υπάρ­χουν ξενο­δο­χεία που έχουν συμ­βό­λαια σημα­ντικά υψη­λό­τερα των 100.000 ευρώ για εφέτος, ενώ τους τελευ­ταί­ους μήνες δεν εκπλή­ρωνε τις οικο­νο­μι­κές του υπο­χρε­ώ­σεις, με απο­τέ­λε­σμα οι σχέσεις του με τους ξενο­δό­χους να είναι τετα­μέ­νες και να απει­λη­θεί ακόμη και με έξωση των πελατών του, προ­κει­μέ­νου να κατα­βάλ­λει μέρος των οφει­λο­μέ­νων.

Ο lowcosttravelgroup με έδρα την Μαγιόρκα, είχε μετα­κο­μί­σει το μεγα­λύ­τερο μέρος των γρα­φείων του στην Κρα­κο­βία της Πολω­νίας για λόγους μείωσης κόστους, ενέρ­γεια που τελικά δεν τον έσωσε.

Σύμφωνα με εκτι­μή­σεις ταξι­διω­τι­κών πηγών της Αγγλίας, αυτή τη στιγμή ο t.o. έχει στο εξω­τε­ρικό περίπου 27.000 του­ρί­στες, ενώ έχει 110.000 κρα­τή­σεις ενεργές, οι οποίες και δεν θα εξυ­πη­ρε­τη­θούν, αν και έχουν πλη­ρω­θεί από τους του­ρί­στες.

 

Από χθες το βράδυ το site της εται­ρίας δεν λει­τουρ­γεί και έχει αναρ­τη­θεί η ακό­λουθη ανα­κοί­νωση:
