Difficult Season Ahead For Hotels in Cyprus

Description:

The tourist season this year in Cyprus may be one of the most difficult ones faced according to Cyprus President, Demetris Christofias who was addressing the Hoteliers Association annual meeting.
 
He stressed that Britain, a traditional tourist partner of Cyprus, has been hard hit by the global economic crisis and this will have a knock on effect on tourism here.
 
According to provisional figures, tourism arrivals have dropped by almost 10% up to the middle of May.
