Pafos, invests further in the safety of bathers
“Smart” remote-controlled lifebuoy at the disposal of lifeguards
The Pafos Regional Board of Tourism strengthens the safety of bathers on the beaches by providing the latest type of “Smart” remote-controlled lifebuoy, unique in Cyprus.
This action is part of tourism board’ s plan, with a direction and vision to establish Pafos as a Smart holiday destination in the coming years.
Similar actions related to the use of technology in tourism continue to be implemented throughout the province.
Specifically, the “smart” lifebuoys , which make their appearance for the first time in the Cypriot seas, are environmentally friendly since they are electric and rechargeable, have a range of up to 800 meters from the operator and the ability to reach a bather in need of help very fast since they are five times faster than the speed of the world swimming champion. Ha an autonomy of 45 minutes, their maintenance is minimal and the use is very easy.
Initially, 3 lifebuoys were purchased and delivered free of charge to the local authorities by the Tourism Development and Promotion Company of the Paphos Region.
Pafos Regional Board of Tourism warmly thanks the Kinyra Lifeguards Club for the cooperation as well as the Deputy Ministry of Tourism for the continuous support.
