    Cyprus Tourism pampering local business, 132 Hotels offer special packages to local market


    For the past few years the local market gained more weight for the Cypriot hotel occupancies. Cypriots travel abroad a lot but also stay in Cyprus a lot. According to Cyprus tourism Organisation the local market produces approximately 1,500,000 (one and a half million) bed nights to the Cypriot hotels and accommodation establishments. This converts Cypriots to the 2nd biggest tourism market for Cyprus after the UK market.


    It was once when Cypriots were an insignificant market share, those times are gone, today,  the 1.5 million overnights,  means a lot to the local hotel industry and especially this year the Cyprus Hotel Association gave a bigger emphasis to the packages offered from its members to the local consumer.


    This initiative is supported by the Cyprus Tourism Organisation, the Bank of Cyprus (American Express Credit Cards).
    The offer includes 132 hotels in all the tourist areas of Cyprus and you can see the entire offer here below.

    I'd really like to see the CTO engaging more with private apartment and villa providers rather than just with hotels. Tourists shouldn't just be encouraged to always opt for hotel accommodation as, if Cyprus tourism is to really try and turn itself around, there needs to be a more flexible model of travel around the island to encourage more adventurous travelers to move around and explore the rich cultural heritage the island offers. This means that a wider range of choices needs to be made apparent to travelers before they plump for the same old package deals.

    Unless CTO diversifies then nothing will change. They've been missing a trick for years by using an outdated model...

    By the way, really enjoying your blog posts - some excellent food for thought!
