OEB: Measures are Correct, but More Support Needed for Tourism

The Federation of Employers and Industrialists (OEB) believes that the announced support measures are in the right direction, but expresses the view that support for the tourism sector is insufficient, given the consequences the industry has suffered and the challenges it faces. The OEB points out that the forecasts for the tourist season are not encouraging and requires continuous assessment of the situation and readiness to plan additional targeted measures for tourism (hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, etc.). In addition, it emphasizes the need to intensify the communication strategy to promote Cyprus as a safe and reliable destination. The OEB will evaluate the results of the measures and submit further recommendations to the government.
