DP World Limassol: Cruises Can Boost Tourism In Rural Areas
September 29, 2020
Throughout the years, tourism has been a major lifeline and a leading employer for communities across Cyprus, keeping their economies afloat. On the occasion of World Tourism Day celebrations on 27 September, DP World Limassol, operator of the Multi-Purpose and the Cruise Terminals of the Limassol port, reiterates its ongoing commitment to boost the country’s cruise tourism sector.
Every year, the World Tourism Day is celebrated with festivities led by the United Nations’ World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). This year’s theme “Tourism and Rural Development” celebrates the sector’s unique ability to drive economic development and provide opportunities in rural communities. DP World Limassol’s vision is closely aligned with this theme, as it aims to establish the Limassol port as a regional cruise hub and a major trading channel, thereby driving growth across the entire country.
