We also asked Greif about the post-COVID performance of Tropic Air. During the pandemic, the company "took a lik", with its revenue flatlining and its operations reduced to the bar minimum, along with scores of employees laid off.
So, how has this major tourism enterprise been doing since the lifting of pandemic restrictions and the resumption of all tourist services? We asked Greif:
Max Greif, CEO, Tropic Air
"Our revenue went down to less that 5% of what it normally would have been. The company took a tremendous hit, but I would say most importantly the employees of this company took a tremendous hit and they've bear a lot of the responsibility of ensuring our recovery. Fortunately, tourism has rebounded. We're not at full levels compare to where we was in 2019, but we're close to it and going forward we are very optimistic about the level of demand that we see going forward."
"Covid is over. We've gone through the war time, now its peace time and we're looking forward to the tremendous amount of opportunities that exists for Tropic going forward and Belize as a whole."
Tomorrow you can her Greif's comments on the still live proposal to open a major airport on northern Ambergris Caye, plus you'll hear what he thinks of his company's rivals at Maya Island Air.
