CORFU. The protest is taking place at Corfu Port on Friday 2 July at 09:00.

The Ionian Trade & Enterprise Federation, Corfu Trade Association, Restaurateurs & Catering Professionals Association, the Taxi Association, KTEL, Horse & Carriage Association and Corfu Kiosk Owners' Association are calling on all colleagues and the Corfu public to take part in the protest at Corfu Port on Friday 2 July at 09:00.

The protest is against the damage being done to the local economy by the cruise passenger ΄bubbles΄ which don't allow passengers to wander around freely but guide them to specific businesses and shops.

The objects of the protest are as follows:

- Support for all businesses without exception
- To make it understood that cruises need to contribute to the economy
- To ensure that income from cruise passengers is not lost forever
- The historical centre with Corfu shops doesn't disappear
- Corfu island as a tourist destination is not devalued
- The prosperity of the Corfu public
