[quote="larnacaman"][quote="rastan"]After previously asking on this forum about the possibility of my family having a holiday in Cyprus, one week in the south & one week in the north (I'm English & have no bias towards greek or turkish cypriots), I have decided to spend 2 weeks in the TRNC, several greek cypriots were so rude towards me & also the turkish cypriots were standing up for me....so I must say that I will spend my holiday pounds in the TRNC. Take note greek cypriots, your economy is not good, you need every tourist pound that you can get, if you start to behave like your turkish cypriot brothers & sisters then you may attract tourists like me![/quote]
Though not condoning Rastan comments/actions here, you can easily understand how some will be put off spending any time in EU Cyprus. All for the sake of a few clueless mindless morons that just have to jump in and down the guy because he wanted to visit both sides of the green line!!! ...Bloody Pathetic!!!
He was right in one respect, EU Cyprus ''Does need tourists'', and they need them badly this year. It's no good you burying your head in the clouds here and stating you don't need the tourist income. You rely on around 40/45% of your annual income from the tourist industry, and you sure ain't gonna get that this year.... So Wake Up my friends, or the Real World will Bite you, where it hurts most....
If it's not the cost of airfares that will kill off your tourist industry, it'll be people like you lot, that can't keep their bigoted zealot minds from replying to straight forward enquires of holiday plans from potential tourists...
When your tourist industry goes all but pear shaped, ....Well then i guess you'll be looking for someone else to blame, ...Normality resumed!!!![/quote]
Hope you don't give any directions to tourist being you don't know clouds from sand.
