PASYXE Famagusta calls on the executive to take corrective measures to create conditions in order to achieve the tourist goals set by the creation of a casino in the free province of Famagusta.
A written announcement of the Pancyprian Hoteliers Association (PASYXE) Famagusta states that the operation of the satellite casino in the province of Famagusta was reviewed during a meeting held by members of the Association with the leadership of MELCO, the management company of the company.
During the meeting, “everyone's commitment to ensuring and consolidating a culture of responsible gaming was emphasized, as well as the quality of providing quality services to visitors. "Casino tourism is real, and it is a tourist market and a pole of attraction for high-income tourism, while it is an important area of tourist differentiation of a destination".
It was also found that “the current form and mode of operation of the casino, which is subject to specific legislation and very limited frameworks, does not meet either the expectations of upgrading the tourist product of the province, or the requirements for extending the tourist season. It was also a common opinion that the current form, is not considered a casino with the expectation that everyone has, nor is it a reference point or additional reason for a visit to the province of Famagusta outside the summer season ".
PASYXE Famagusta calls on the "executive power to take immediate corrective measures, mainly by modifying the narrow legal framework, in order to create the conditions to achieve the tourist goals set."
