Significant conclusions and data regarding tourism in a digital era emerged from the presentations recently given at an informative event held by Larnaka Tourism Board (LTB) and MMC (Mediterranean Management Centre) in cooperation with the university UCLan Cyprus.

The newly-launched ‘Larnaca Virtual Diving Routes’ have introduced and offer an interactive, digital way to experience some of Larnaca’s most popular dive sites – for divers preparing for an expedition, or non-divers wanting to enjoy a glimpse of the world beneath the waves.

 The Fourth Honey and Beekeeping Festival of Rural Larnaca is due to soon take place on June 26, and its importance has been appreciated since the ancient times.

A pioneering initiative took place today in Larnaca with a guided tour specifically-designed for the visually impaired.

A meeting was held on March 31 at the offices of the Larnaca Chamber of Commerce and Industry  between the president, Stavros Stavrou, and a delegation of the Chamber, with the Ambassador of Israel, Oren Anolik and the embassy's commercial and financial relations officer.

Why should you visit a museum? There are several reasons; to seek knowledge, to take time to reflect and ponder, and to hone your critical thinking. But also, to acknowledge and appreciate the people who built and maintain the museums, and who work tirelessly to safeguard our history, thus enriching your experiential learning – along with that of future generations. 

Yiannis Karousos, minister of transport, communications & works, Cyprus, marked the completion of the upgrades at the Archaeological Museum of the Larnaka District during his visit to the fully renovated wings, and in the presence of the mayor of Larnaca, the presidents of Larnaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Larnaka Tourism Board, members of Parliament of the Larnaca and Ammochostos regions, as well as officers of the Department of Antiquities and members of the local media.
