“there is an extra demand of some 15% from Germany , but it not certain whether 5-10% will come here since there will be no plane seats to carry tourists to Cyprus,” he said.
Messages from Russia are very positive for the two resorts for the summer, but there are ongoing problems facing the free Famagusta district, such as the chronic issue of seasonality, continue.
“A region, like free Famagusta cannot be busy between May and the end of October and be closed for the rest of the year,” Tsokkos said.
