They are not happening often and we could come back down and just continue our holidays.” <br /><br />The Kos hotelliers association says only five percent of the reservations for the coming weeks have been cancelled after the quake.<br /><br />Euronews correspondent Michalis Arampatzoglou reported: “1.5 million tourists visit Kos every year.
