Coronavirus: Protaras and Paralimini preparing for summer season
April 29, 2020
Protaras and Paralimni are preparing for the summer season, while Ayia Napa tourism businesses are unsure whether they will operate or not this year.
According to Paralimni Mayor, Theodoros Pirilis, both Paralimni and Protaras are “ready to welcome tourists” if the flight ban to Cyprus is lifted and scientists give the green light for summer vacations. But hoteliers and restaurant owners in the neighbouring town are conflicted on whether it will be profitable to open their businesses during the pandemic.
“The worst that can happen in Cyprus is the resurgence of coronavirus cases and the imposition of quarantine and restriction of movements during the summer,” Pirilis told the Cyprus News Agency on Wednesday.
But Protaras is Cypriots’ first choice during the summer, and the mayor is certain the town will have locals support this year as well.
