November Newsletter
This Month's Feature:
Conference
& Incentive Market
Despite its small size, Cyprus has been at the crossroads
of history for millennia. Professional destination management
companies find that its location is no less strategic today
- add to that, its unique combination of world class hotels
and resorts and Mediterranean charm and you have the perfect
setting for holding productive meetings and conferences
in a relaxed environment and a short distance away from
India, the Gulf Countries and the Middle East.
Whether the event you are planning is for five or 500,
you'll find there's no more distinctive, user-friendly venue
than Cyprus. It is their high expectations of service and
modern, quality facilities that lead many international
companies to select hotels and resorts in Cyprus for their
international conferences and incentive activities.
In the capital city of Lefkosia, plush business-oriented
hotels are popular choices among traveling executives. Not
to be outdone, hotel and resort properties of the coastal
regions of Lemesos, Pafos and Agia Napa can offer a business
person the wonderful experience of going from the boardroom
to the golf course and finally to the beach in a matter
of minutes.
Cyprus Highlights:
Larnaka
Situated on the southeastern coast, home of the main international
airport, Larnaka is one of the oldest continually inhabited
cities in the world. Its trademark, the famous mile-long
promenade lined with palm trees, is now a pedestrian’s
zone, which makes this area’s open-air cafes, tavernas
and restaurants even more attractive. At one end of the
promenade is a yacht marina and a port, and about 400 meters
inland lies the town’s main commercial and shopping
centre, with many department stores and supermarkets.
To the west of Larnaka is the beautiful salt lake, home
to migratory flamingos and the Mosque of Hala Sultan Tekke,
which is one of the most important shrines to Muslims—the
Prophet Mohammed’s close relative is said to have
died here. Close to Larnaka is the village of Lefkara, famous
for its lace and silverware, and the village of Konnos,
famous for pottery.
