Our tourism sector has weaknesses we need to overcome. “We owe not to remain

complacent and recognise that our tourism sector has weaknesses we need to overcome.

Our old hotel units, high cost of services, seasonality, lack of infrastructure, absence of sufficient air links and other negative aspects smear Cyprus’ tourism image.

The sun and the sea are not enough anymore to manage to attract more quality tourists, which is our goal.

Cyprus needs additional and more effective resources in order to surpass the two million tourists benchmark.”
