Ambassadors in Tourism
The
Cyprus Tourism Organisation, in the framework of its
further activity in the conference and incentives’
tourism, has inaugurated the new pioneering programme
Ambassadors in Tourism.
It is the most innovative programme that until today the
Cyprus Tourism Organisation has led. On the other hand,
it is an establishment that has proven lately with
flying colours that it can work abroad. For instance,
established destinations such as Vienna, Milan, Japan,
Spain, Ireland, England, South Africa, Glasgow and many
others claim that with their only tool that of the
Ambassadors, they have had significant increase in
attracting conferences.
The philosophy of this voluntary scheme, is to address
fundamental issues of conference tourism and offered
tourist products/activities of Cyprus in a group of
distinguished Cypriots or foreigners who reside in
Cyprus, who either travel often for business purposes
abroad or are active in international fora and
associations, so that they contribute, encourage or bid
for an international or a regional conference in Cyprus.
The CTO estimates, that the main groups of ‘Ambassadors
in Tourism’ will stem from the academic, medical, local
authority, entrepreneur domains, ministry
representatives, and semi-government bodies,
associations, various societies, known artists,
sportspeople or other Cypriots, who wish to
substantially show their love for their motherland.
For the Cyprus Tourism Organisation, the Ambassadors’
programme is the most authentic tool that has ever had,
because it is based on Cyprus’ best comparative
advantage, its people. CTO still bases its optimism on
the success of this programme on mutual benefits: the
participants in the scheme shall be benefited the most
via their networking that they shall have by the scheme
for their selves, their research, their products and
their enterprises.
