April 20, 2022
The list of hotels participating in the government’s subsidised summer holidays programme that starts on May 1 has been posted online, the deputy ministry of tourism said on Tuesday.
Open to all permanent residents, the scheme was approved recently by cabinet as part of measures to offset to impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the tourism sector, and the economy more generally.
Russia is traditionally Cyprus’ second biggest tourism market, and before the war, Cyprus was expecting some 800,000 visitors from the two countries. The hope is that encouraging local tourism, combined with the opening of new markets abroad, will help cover some of the shortfall.
