Since the dawn of history, Cyprus has been one of the most interesting countries in the region, with a rich and visible CYPRUS cultural history. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans, along with Crusaders, Byzantines, Franks and Ottomans, have all left a powerful legacy for visitors to see and admire. Cyprus is the safest country in the world for 15- 29 year olds, according to the World Health Organization. Crime is almost non-existent, and the Cypriot people are famous for the warm and friendly welcome they extend to visitors. Like Singapore and Hong Kong, Cyprus is an important financial and business center, with over 70% of the economy focused on services. The main industries in Cyprus are financial and professional services, banking, investment management, shipping, tourism and real estate. Cyprus hosts the financial infrastructure for thousands of multinational companies due to its stable and modern legal and tax environment, highly educated workforce, and excellent quality of life. Cyprus is a world-class tourist destination, with some of the best beaches in Europe and the world, and boasts an amazing combination of island hospitality, pristine beaches and nature preserves, and bustling cosmopolitan urban centers. Cyprus has over 1,000 hotels and resorts, and one of the most developed tourism infrastructures per-capita in the world. Cyprus is also a global maritime hub. It is the 2nd-largest ship management center in the world, responsible for maintaining and operating a large percentage of the world’s fleets. It also has the 3rd-largest merchant fleet in Europe. And perhaps, most famously, Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite. She was believed by the Ancient Greeks to have ascended from the seafoam of waves crashing against Aphrodite’s Rock. This is why Cyprus is known as “The Island of Love”. Cyprus is an amazing place to study abroad because it truly has something to offer every type of student and traveller!

  • Cyprus: a Divided Island. Economic and Demographic Gaps Between North and South As a Result of the Unsolved Conflict Between Cypriot Communities
    UDK: 32:379.8(564.3) COBISS: 1.08 Cyprus: a divided island. Economic and demographic gaps between North and South as a result of the unsolved conflict between Cypriot Communities. Daniela Lombardi Dipartimento di Economia Societa e Territorio, Universita degli Studi di Udine, Via delle Scienze 208, 1-33100 Udine, Italy Abstract The subject of this work is the Cyprus problem. The Greek and Turkish conflict on the island has given rise to far-reaching geopolitical transformations. An analysis of the economic and demographic imbalances of the country have been brought to our attention. The northern, Turkish part of Cyprirs, is not recognized by the inter- national community and has to struggle for its survival, whereas the southern, Greek part is flourishing. Demographic and economic figures, in particular related to tourism, are analyzed. The Greek side of the island has experienced territorial transformations more profound than those occurring on the Turkish side and has paid a higher price in terms of environment pressure. Tourism is causing a con- stant rise of land prices. Tourism, then, worsens the problem of water shortage and is directly responsible of coast erosion. The problems on the Turkish side are dif- ferent. Tourism is still of no major importance, although a recovery of the structures abandoned after the war was started. However, the »TRNC« has been isolated on an international level and has been an off limits area for foreign tourists. For this reason, a change in the geopolitical realities, which caused the protracted stale- mate, will likely affect developments in the tourist sector.

  • Impact of Tourism on Local Residents: Environmental and Socioeconomic Effects
    IMPACT OF TOURISM ON LOCAL RESIDENTS: ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC EFFECTS Jonathan Warner, Sevgin Akis, and Nicos Peristianis Abstract An increasing number of countries, among them many within the Mediterranean, have turned to tourism as a way of providing employment, increasing national income, and avoiding current account deficits. As resorts developed, a realization began to grow in some of the more developed areas that tourism was a mixed blessing, and that, for some people at least, the benefits of tourism might be out• weighed by the costs. Results from a larger comparative study of the impacts of tourism on two com• munities: Ayia Napa/Paralimni in the southern part of Cyprus (among Greek Cypriot residents), and Kyrenia in the northern part (among Turkish Cypriots). Evidence suggests that the prevailing attitude is that socio-economic and envi• ronmental costs of development must be accepted for the greater overall wealth of both local residents and of Cyprus as a whole. In view of the economic advantages of tourism, and the lack of awareness of the less-evident environmental costs, it is not surprising that there is little concern over any negative effects of tourism development, even if these may jeopardize the long• term viability of the economic development of the island. Given that the possibili• ties for sustainable, alternative tourism have yet largely to be explored, the need to change attitudes is paramount, if Cyprus is not to end up as yet another over-devel• oped Mediterranean island. Introduction: Tourism in Cyprus Tourism in Cyprus developed rapidly in the 1960's, as reliable and cheap air transport became available.

  • The Impact of Tourism on the Sociocultural Structure of Cyprus
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The Impact of Tourism on the Sociocultural Structure of Cyprus Spanou, Elena Intercollege 3 June 2006 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/25392/ MPRA Paper No. 25392, posted 24 Sep 2010 15:04 UTC TOURISMOS: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF TOURISM Volume 2, Number 1, Spring 2007, pp. 145-162 THE IMPACT OF TOURISM ON THE SOCIOCULTURAL STRUCTURE OF CYPRUS Elena Spanou 1 Intercollege This paper is based on evaluating tourism development in Cyprus, a European nation, and its impacts on the socio-cultural structure of the island. The principal concern of this research is aid in sustaining the resource base on which the tourism development in Cyprus depends on. The paper concludes that in spite of all the negative and positive impacts of tourism on Cyprus it is not yet clear whether the benefits outweigh the costs. The reason for this uncertainty is that most of the research is done on an estimate as there is no empirical data available as yet to support either side of the equation. Keywords: sustainability, carrying capacity, natural resources, agro-tourism INTRODUCTION The impact of tourism on the host destination is an area that has been greatly researched by many tourism related authors. Tourism can have both positive and negative impact on the host destination’s socio-cultural structure. This presents a challenge to decision makers in regard to the type of tourism that a destination is trying to attract, in order to determine whether the gains to some within the community outweigh the losses to others.

  • Getting Around Paphos Downtown
    Getting around Paphos Downtown The resort town of Paphos, a favourite with the tens of thousands of tourists who flock to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus every year, is divided into two areas: the residential new town and Kato Paphos, sited on the ancient Greek town and loosely considered as the ‘downtown’ area. The famous archaeological sites documenting Kato Paphos, most of the hotels, tavernas and other visitor facilities including a marina, bars and music venues are located here, with Kato Paphos now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Legendarily founded at the time of the fall of Troy by the Arcadian chief Agapenor on his way to the famous siege, the town became a major trading post in ancient times due to its sheltered harbour. Famous visitors in those far-off days included St Paul, with Paphos later mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, and the young Titus, later to become a Roman emperor, who showed great interest in the town’s history and antiquities. In his later writings, Titus expressed surprise that the only monument to the goddess Aphrodite in her temple was a strange pyramidal stone. Nowadays, thousands of visitors gaze with the same awe at the still-standing Temple of Aphrodite. Getting there The only practical way to arrive on Cyprus is by air to the small Paphos International Airport set to the town’s east, 10kms away. A good number of charter and low-cost flights serve the facility from all over Europe including the UK, with scheduled services also provided by national flag carrier Cyprus Airways as well as British Airways.

  • 1537 Destroy at War, Rebuild in Peace! the Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Being a National Property at Wartime and Universal Herita
    1537 DESTROY AT WAR, REBUILD IN PEACE! THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF CYPRUS BEING A NATIONAL PROPERTY AT WARTIME AND UNIVERSAL HERITAGE AT PEACE YILDIZ, Netice * KUZEY KIBRIS/NORTH CYPRUS/СЕВЕРНЫЙ КИПР ABSTRACT Cyprus is an island on the crossing roads of Asia, Africa and Europe. From its earliest times several civilisations left a rich culture heritage which is an amalgamation of the Asian, African and European cultures. However, like every other place that experienced war, it was subjected to severe violations in its history during each new sovereign particularly at war time. Sometimes, although the existing ones were reused for economic reasons although they were always altered with the stamp of the identity of the new ruler. Vouni Palace, is one of the early example for this case which is thought to have been built during the Persian rule then turned into a Hellenistic palace. The Crusaders destroyed many Byzantine castles and orthodox churches while the Genoese and later Venetians removed all banners of the Lusignans from the walls of the city. Many Latin buildings were harmed during the bombardment by the Ottoman or demolished by the occupants in need of stone to reinforce the walls. However, these buildings were all used by the Ottomans with some alterations for economical reasons while Orthodox were given the privilege to restore their churches. It is an admirable act to see that still these monuments bear the grotesque ornaments in rather good condition while many Ottoman inscriptions on the buildings in the southern part of the island are badly defaced, the marble inscription of the Paphos Castle being an example.
