Lindos and surrounding resorts have really grown in popularity so there will be a lot of displaced tourists. That is a lot of additional rooms to find in the North/West of the island so it is correct to stop, for now at least, any tourists arriving into Rhodes.
From there the Tour Operators, FCO (not that they are much use), and Greek authorities will be able to understand the scale and impact this has had on the resorts affected and then displace the tourists around the island so that they can enjoy their holiday.
