Making way for hospitality in Cyprus Tourism
At this time into the season its pointless to reinforce the evident culprits of the economic downturn in tourism.
1. Single market dependency,
2. Outdated tourism acquisition model and
3. Lack of leadership
Equally downgrading is the current finger pointing by authorities, associations and business organizations, because at one level or another everybody is responsible. We will not at this point mention the way the inefficiencies of politics in tourism, but we want to pin point how an exercise of introspection would be good for everyone prior to expressing their frustrations.
As it is general that tourism destinations are struggling, what is needed today is an exercise of leadership that can rise to the challenge. The current situation has demonstrated that we have incumbent actors who have been incapable of producing and establishing a basis for sustainable model for tourism in Cyprus.
I believe it would be sensible to demand at this time, to have an executive hand that can and will make way for a new leadership to reverse the tide and so that as professionals we may be able to again prioritize Hospitality and all its opportunities.
