11 July, 2016The Tourism and Environment Minister Fikri Ataoğlu has called a statement made by the Mayor of Ayia Napa, Yannis Karusos, “unfortunate” for “peace and tourism”.
Minister Ataoğlu was surprised by Mayor Karusos’statement regarding daily tours and tourist expenditures in North Cyprus.
Minister Ataoğlu noted that “our citizens also spent money, not only in Ayia Napa, but in many other hotels, restaurants and cafes in South Cyprus. This amount is more than that spent by tourists who cross over to the North from the Greek side.”
“Tourists who have been crossing over for day trips on buses are prevented by their tour guide from buying things like water or Turkish coffee. This is a problem which needs to be addressed.”
