Η <strong>Tsokkos Hotels</strong> διαδραματίζει εκεί πρωταγωνιστικό ρόλο, ένα ρόλο ο οποίος είναι πολύ σημαντικός και προϊόν μιας δυναμικής, συντονισμένης, αναπτυξιακής πορείας. Τα ξενοδοχεία, ως ζωντανοί οργανισμοί, πρέπει συνεχώς να εξελίσσονται με γνώμονα τη βελτίωση και τον εμπλουτισμό των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών και των κτιριακών εγκαταστάσεων. </p> <p>Η <strong>Tsokkos Hotels</strong> ως <strong>σημαιοφόρος</strong> της τουριστικής βιομηχανίας στο νησί μας, με ποσοστό που αγγίζει το <strong>9%</strong> των συνολικών διαθεσίμων κλινών, παραμένοντας και πάλι πιστή στο ποιοτικό στρατηγικό της πλάνο, έχει και για φέτος προγραμματίσει ριζικές ανακαινίσεις στα νεοαποκτηθέντα <strong>Iliada</strong>, <strong>Antigoni </strong>και <strong>Flora Apts</strong> (νέα πατώματα, έπιπλα, κτλ) καθώς και στο <strong>Silver Sands</strong> (νέα πατώματα, ριζική ανακαίνιση Lobby, κτλ), προκειμένου να μπορεί να προσφέρει τα μέγιστα στους πελάτες της.</p> <p>Χαρακτηριστικά αναφέρουμε την πρόσφατη επιτυχή, πλήρη ανακαίνιση του <strong>Vrissiana</strong>, η οποία κόστισε πέρα των <strong>€ 5 εκατ. Ευρώ </strong>(<strong>3 εκατ. Λίρες</strong>) και πραγματοποιήθηκε με τέτοιο τρόπο έτσι ώστε το «<strong>ήλιος και θάλασσα</strong>» να δεσπόζει από όλες τις οπτικές του γωνίες.

I am very excited... Protaras and Ayia Napa are full of life and the temperature is perfect for sunbathing, swimming and holidaying at Tsokkos Hotels!<br /><br />I am also very excited since the renovations at the Vrissiana Beach Hotel in Protaras is in great progress and we are running on the final line. If you visit Protaras you can see the spectacular work being done there (photo of Vrissiana sample room). Definitely you cannot miss Vrissiana by night. With its unique LED lights its a treat for the eyes, and emphasizes even more the ship-shape of the hotel. Once again we set the trends and more surprises will follow. I will keep you posted and I am waiting for your valuable comments.<br /><br />Also, Silver Sands Beach Hotel in Protaras is upgrading. The lobby's refurbishment will finish by the end of July. Chic! That's how I can describe it. Moreover, Iliada Beach Hotel in Protaras undergoes some refurbishments and more emphasis is given in the guestsrooms. Both hotels are under study for a major renovation during the winter period. I can't wait to announce our plans.<br /><br />And lastly, the website of Victorian Bar & Restaurant is developed.

This is Andreas Tsokkos. I just arrived from a business trip from <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Slovakia</st1:place></st1:country-region>. An interesting country with culture and historical sites to sightsee, and great hotels. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Among my first priorities, now that I am back, is to review the progress at the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Vrissiana</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">Beach</st1:placetype></st1:place> hotel in Protaras, which is under a complete transformation. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Tsokkos Hotels last June acquired this landmark hotel and it </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">will undergo a full renovation and refurbishment, in order to reflect the Tsokkos Hotels quality and standards. The idea behind the renovation is to transform Vrissiana to a superior four star all year around hotel, appealing to families and couples of all ages. It will be a star choice for those seeking superb location, stylish accommodation, wide range of facilities, high quality service, sports, leisure and entertainment, and more important relaxation. I am positive that it will be a great success. You can get more information on the renovation plans from Tsokkos Hotels official website - <a href="http://www.tsokkos.com/">www.tsokkos.com</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">I hope to see you soon at one of my hotels. </span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Thank you for sharing your thoughts and holiday experience with me, and I promise to keep up with your suggestions and ideas. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Best Personal Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Andreas</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>andreas tsokkoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13101605193228620322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307026235585861431.post-60821754603411037002007-01-20T00:44:00.000+02:002007-01-20T00:50:13.958+02:00Welcome to our world<h1 style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:lucida grande;" >Welcome to the exciting world of Tsokkos Hotel</span><o:p></o:p></h1><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Welcome to our world.</span><span style=""> It is with a great pleasure that I welcome you to my blog launch.<br /><br />Blogging is a new development for my company colleagues, and myself too. I consider this as an opportunity to <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">share </span>my thoughts, ideas and vision with you, the most valued cooperators, my guests. For people that know me, and for the guests that met me would know that talking directly to you, is an everyday activity.

With the commencement of these activities the Group secured its first contracts with major overseas tour operators. The Company was converted into a Public Limited Company in January 2000 and was listed into the Cyprus Stock Exchange on November 1st 2000.
