What do you want in 2011?

[justphil]

Apart from the obvious thing of living in Arillas long term, we want to see more newcomers get the Arillas bug. And a new Atm. And absolutely nothing else to change.

What do you want Arillas to be in 2011? Serious answers could so help it all happen.
Post it here. Support it or lose it.

I too would greatly appreciate a new ATM in Arillas. As for the anything else, I am stumped. My biggest wish will be to get there and luckily I can do something about that

Every time we go I always wonder if things will have changed and am always so pleased that they are still the same.   Just love Arillas and the people just the way it is - heaven.

I'd love for Arillas to be the place I celebrated my 6 week rollover Jackpot.

I'd also like the lovely people in St Steph to give us our bloody sand back. They have had enough of it long enough methinks!

I might be forced to buy a dredger with my winnings.

The only thing I would like to see, besides an ATM, is for LOTS of visitors to spend LOTS of money, and then we won't lose any more businesses....

...and following on from the previous comment I would like to see a concerted effort by all local businesses to draw in new visitors.

I'm glad to see this year I have noticed how much smarter some places in Arillas are.

Gravia and Nikos's new place look great and keep good company with Ammos, Thalassa, Marinas new pool and Atkis bar and pool area. I think this is to be applauded.

I absolutely agree with you Frank.  Some great  investment has been made in new and existing businesses in Arillas and I certainly applaud it... it is especially brave and foresighted in this financial climate.   What is lacking is an initiative to put Arillas on the map to attract new visitors in order to keep the life blood flowing.

Apartments need to be filled, shops and bars need customers.   It's an acknowledged fact that returnees don't spend as much as money in Arillas as new visitors. 

Any forumsters work in PR....in the travel trade...advertising....the media?

Eileen, Frank and Maggie, I so agree with all you have said.

I work in a Further Education college which mostly didn't have a clue where Corfu was, let alone Arillas. Guess how that has changed since I got there.... We can all contribute to the future of our chosen slice of heaven.

Another year of decline will see several of our favourite places close down. Please, please don't let it happen.
