A cold climate for resorts

Resort holidaying gets ready for a cold climate

Tracey Bartosial was a host of a trendy seafront cafe at the Irish Sea tide . She told the reporter of BBC about her cafe`s situation.

"The weather has had a huge impact, it has not been a good summer." She said.

Tracey`s cafe opened for 4 years, they were open until 10pm and people were queueing out the door, and that was without a reputation, but four years down the line, their hours are 10 til 4pm - that is a huge drop.

She told the reporter, "We haven't had one late night opening in the summer. I had 20 on my staff - I'm down to three now."

With the promise of good weather and more people holidaying at home, there were hopes that the resort might enjoy a renaissance inspired by flagship regeneration projects . But as the summer drew to a close, these hopes receded.

She added: "Hopefully we will be here next summer, but hand on heart, I do not know. I take each day as it comes."
