A public debate that has as objective to activate our thinking and make us realise that Tourism is nothing else but all of us.
Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.

Touristic Patriotism
In times of global crisis and global markets someone will think that the title of this post anachronic or even stupid. Well I think is neither.
In times of global crisis the first thing we need to do is to have solidarity with the ones more affected and definitely reaching the 3 world countries is much harder than doing something for our neighbours.
Now the saying Think globally and act locally has more meaning than ever, first see what is happening around us, very close to us and then rise our sight towards the horizon.
I strongly believe that is we spend some of our holidays in our country and the rest abroad then the tourist industry worldwide would be much less affected.
I will take as example Cyprus. Cypriots are only 500,000 people approximately who a large percentage of us go for holidays abroad. I would suggest that we all think that by spending one week of our summer holidays in Cyprus we are helping a lot maintaining people’s jobs, we keep the Small and Medium Size companies alive and we contribute to the well being of the country.
So now that summer is beginning try to escape for a weekend and rediscover your own island.
Join the Cyprus Short Escapes Online Community and choose one of the routes the CTO offers, choose the one that suits you most. Welcome to Cyprus. Ohh last but not least foreigners are more than welcome to join, please tell your friends as well, rediscover Cyprus as it is, natural and authentic.
