Over 2 million euros earmarked to develop Cyprus' countryside

The Deputy Ministry of Tourism has announced funding of over €2 million for projects that create “authentic experiences” in the countryside and are calling on interested parties to apply for the subsidy.

This particular scheme, according to a press release by the Deputy Ministry, will fund the renovation of public and private buildings and open areas, that will be purposed for visits and culinary and crafting activities. The landscaping and accessibility of outdoor spaces and the development of alternative tourism projects (such as religious tourism, cultural tourism, flora and fauna observation activities and adventurous tourism) will also be funded.
