Cyprus Deputy Tourism Minister Savvas Perdios announced on Wednesday that the Cabinet had approved a special grant scheme of the order of 420,000 euros in support of restaurants offering Cypriot cuisine, in a bid to help improve the image of traditional local gastronomy, CNA reports.
In statements after the Cabinet’s meeting, at the Presidential Palace, Perdios also said that a scheme in support of locally derived tourism, which subsidizes overnight stays in hotels of a cost of up to 60 euros per double bed with breakfast by 35%, would be extended until the end of May.
Referring to the new scheme in support of taverns and restaurants serving Cypriot cuisine, he said that it has to do with the improvement of the restaurant’s infrastructure, including revamping the general restaurant area and replacing tables and chairs.
