Cyprus` Tourism Deputy Minister Savvas Perdios has said that in the next two years emphasis will be placed in attracting tourists from new markets such as France, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Sweden and Israel.

In statements after a meeting with Cyprus Greens President Giorgos Perdikis, Perdios assured that a new national tourism strategy set to be launched in the beginning of 2020, will take environmental issues seriously thus differentiating Cyprus from other competitors.
