Cyprus tourism bodies oppose new law on recreational areas

The association of Cyprus tourist enterprises (Stek) and the hoteliers’ association (Pasyxe) on Thursday voiced strong opposition to a proposed law on the establishment and operation of recreational areas, warning it could create distortions in the market and damage the quality of the tourist experience in Cyprus.

The two associations said the proposal, discussed earlier this week by the House tourism committee, would do little to improve or upgrade the tourism product and instead risked undermining it.
