Paphos hoping to attract more tourists
Construction of a new terminal and runway extension at Paphos International Airport in in south west Cyprus has been opened to public and has seen its first arrival, a Finnair flight.
Spokesman for builder Hermes Adam Aspris told that the terminal’s first day had ended without any issues, according to The Cypriot Daily Mail reports.The airport-technology.com has stated that the number of tourists in Cyprus is now expected to be between 3.5% and 4% a year.
Les Calvert, director of property portal Buying Abroad, has commented that Paphos is a particularly strong option for property investors in Cyprus. He also added that Paphos properties are becoming popular with overseas investors at the moment, and are likely to become even more popular once the new terminal at Paphos airport has been opened.
Martin Pearce, director of sales for Aristo Developers UK, one of Cyprus’ leading property developers said: “The completion of the new terminal at Paphos airport and the construction on a four-lane highway that will link the town of Paphos which is 10 miles away, with the airport would rectify congestion on the route during the peak tourist season.
The property market in Cyprus has been tipped to pick up in 2009 after a slump in the past 12 months and it is expected that the downward trend is close to an end, reports Cyprus Property Magazine.
