Cyprus supplement – October 2008

As we all know, the travel industry is going through some testing and challenging times and tourism in Cyprus is no exception.


In the UK, demand for the destination has been hit by rising flight costs, the collapse of XL Leisure Group and the strong euro, which has made non-eurozone countries look increasingly attractive at a time when belt-tightening is fast becoming a national sport.


But, as we can see in this dedicated supplement, it’s not all doom and gloom. The island of Cyprus continues to react to the changing marketplace by diversifying, with more investment in areas such as responsible and cultural tourism luring visitors away from the traditionally popular coastal areas.


So if your clients are looking for a winter sun break or planning their 2009 summer holiday, why not suggest Cyprus? In this supplement you’ll find a host of ideas and products to sell to fi rst-timers and repeat visitors alike.
