The new airports will be ready in 4 years hopefully.
As for the parliament.Well the plans for building it are not anything new, i first heard it 5-6 years ago but i dont know if they started constructions or when it will be ready.

The new airports are merely extensions of Larnaca and Paphos airports.
We have also been promised 11 new golf courses, casinos, speed cameras, new marinas...etc etc.

The joke is we do not have enough water for one new golf course, let alone the 'eleven'! It's CTO (Cyprus Tourists Organisations) knee jerk reaction to the fall in tourism income.

Improving service levels and pricing realistically would be a better direction IMHO.

Hi M-T

The continuing water shortages in the UK never fail to amaze me; I logged onto to SKY News today and it said 'the rain should stop by Sunday' - but there are hosepipe bans!!!

In Cyprus, our last President (Clerides) promised us 'no more water shortages' and apart from the occasional local shortfall, we seem to have plenty of water. Two wet Winters have helped. We do have a couple of desalination plants but they provide only a small percentage of our water.

On second thoughts, maybe it is because we have a Communist Governmment 'water for the masses'! It Russia, of course. it would have to be 'Vodka for the masses'!

Aparantly the de-salinization plant in Cyprus is considered as one of the best designs. period.

I read this in the Sydney Morning Herald, when certain parts of Aus were looking at copying the design.
