Considering the evacuation numbers I don't think 36% is too bad. Of course a production would prefer to bank the full potential profit, but that of course is not possible when there is no air entry to a market which is heavily dependent on tourism. Also, I would be interested to know more about the last few months in addition to the listed annual facts because I am sure the debt downgrade is affecting sales on the local front. I mean, attendance is down and prices are up, that can not mean good things for the local crowd.
