... your post is a paradigm of oppugnity!

What is oppugnity?

His post.

[Acikgoz]

I couldn't see where he wrote that. Anyway, you used it to make a point so surely you must know what it means?

[Oracle]

Of course I know what it means and his post is exactly that .. a perfect paradigm of something which is questionably truthful and hardly valid for taking seriously.

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!

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!!!!

Hope you don't give any directions to tourist being you don't know clouds from sand.

Try 12%. Tourism accounts for around 12% of the GDP of Cyprus.

There are some who think we're virtually totally dependent on tourism.

There’s a large percentage of people that has spent a lifetime assuming everything! It’s the easy way out… you never have to open a book and still sound “clever” among your pea-brained friends thus earning “respect”!

CAP WROTE : There are some who think we're virtually totally dependent on tourism.


Hahaha!!! .....12% ....in your wildest dreams, though it may very well be down to 12% this year!!! So ....Cyprus isn't dependant on tourism, to keep it's head above water, is that what your saying?? ....You must be listening to those politicians again, the ones that think your all mushrooms by feeding you plenty of shit and/or keeping you firmly in the dark....

Apart from holiday tourists, you have a complete industry that has grown around the ''semi permanent'' tourist, like the building of houses and apartments etc,etc!! Now go ahead and abuse those people why don't you, then you can destroy another lucrative income for Cyprus, and at the same time destroy the building industry (not that they are, already in trouble) and put even more out of a job and onto welfare!!!

Don't think for a minute all the new housing, complexes, etc are being built for the home market, there just isn't the money around to support that idea, and even less now, the banks are withdrawing money from that sector of the economy.... Plus the fact, that most housing here, is way over priced from the greed of the developers in the first place!!!

I suggest you go back and look at the breakdown of EU Cyprus GDP figures, and you will see many things have been broken away from the related industries and so hiding the real state of affairs..... Especially where ''Tourism'' is concerned!!!

Kill the Cyprus tourist income at your own peril.....

Nobody suggested tourism wasn't important Larnacaman. But its not our sole means of income.

No it's not the only means of income, but it's a bloody big chunk of it!! So start looking after it a bit more carefully, it's a dammed site more important than many here will give credit too. ...Because you'll sure know all about it, when it's all but gone....
