Tourism, Culture & Sustainability for Municipalities in Cyprus

The needs of modern tourists are changing, growing or being upgraded, to be more precise.




Improved living standards and globalisation processes on the tourism market exert a crucial impact on change in the behaviour of tourism consumers.


Over the past few years or so in Cyprus and especially in our highly touristic region region a higher educational level and increased interest in cultural attractions, the need for acquiring new knowledge, and even the affirmation of modern tourists through this new knowledge in the society to which they belong have given rise to a greater need of identifying new cultural resources and utilizing many of the new technologies available.


Cultural resources associated to a destination can be offered as a supplement to the destination’s existing holiday offering, or they can be used to create a particular type of cultural-heritage- related tourism attraction that could, through strategic development, become a primary reason for tourist arrivals.

To satisfy their interests and needs, tourists travelling for reasons of culture, tradition and history are also willing to spend money in on auxiliary services and facilities.


Growing interest for cultural tourism is also evident in travel agency catalogues, which are increasingly offering travels combined with cultural attractions.


Pegeia Municipality recognizes the fact tat local features must be emphasised as an important element in differentiating our tourism product, as they are an indication of the continuation of history through creation.


Cultural tourism in Pegeia is currently at a developmental stage, and the wealth of cultural resources existing in the entire area of the Municipality will be capitalised on and shaped to form one of the basic elements of the destination’s tourism product.
