A residential and commercial development, which will include a hotel, a marina, and a pier for luxurious cruise ships, was approved on Wednesday by the Council of Ministers, as announced by Deputy Tourism Minister, Savvas Perdios, CNA reports.
In statements after the Cabinet’s meeting, Perdios noted that it has been a goal of the Deputy Ministry for four years to promote the project’s implementation, the idea of which has been dormant for 30 years.
Perdios explained that a study drafted by experts showed that a mixed development is possible, from a technical aspect, as long as the pier would only serve cruise ships up to 220 meters long, which are luxurious cruise ships. “This is very important because it responds to the Deputy Ministry’s goal to attract tourists of a higher income,” he continued.
