Hermes Airports: Launch of Deputy Ministry of Tourism a positive development
It signals a transition to a new era for the country’s tourism industry
Hermes Airports congratulates Mr Savvas Perdios on taking up his duties as Deputy Minister of Tourism and wishes him every success in his work.
As the operating company of the Republic of Cyprus’ two airports, with significant contribution to the great increase of tourist inflow to Cyprus in the past years, we believe that the creation of the Deputy Ministry of Tourism is a positive development. It signals a transition to a new era for the country’s tourism industry and provides the opportunity to further develop our tourism product based on best practices with horizontal and targeted actions and policies.
Through our own active participation in creating a national strategy for tourism, we believe that its complete and systematic implementation – via the newly established Deputy Ministry – could further enhance the high quality of the Cypriot tourism product throughout the year and specifically focus on the new aspects and trends of the global tourism market.
As one of the key stakeholders of the tourism sector, we at Hermes Airports declare our intention to cooperate with the Deputy Minister of Tourism by submitting our proposals in order to improve the island’s connectivity tackle seasonality and redefine Cyprus’ tourism identity.
