Cyprus Tourism Sector Under Scrutiny: Only 23% of Hotels Fully Licensed
A report by the Cyprus Court of Audit reveals significant deficiencies in the licensing and monitoring system for tourism accommodations, as only 23 percent of hotels possess complete operating licenses. This significantly weakens efforts to improve the Cypriot tourism offering. In parallel, positive signals are increasing from Israel, where leading media praise Cyprus as an affordable, safe, and hospitable holiday destination following recovery from war-related losses and view it as a beneficiary of regional conflicts.
