At the same time, the Police are carrying out the necessary motorized and pedestrian patrols in all the tourist areas of free Cyprus, the necessary checks are being made on the private security guards, while facilities are being provided and any assistance is provided to the public.
In his statements to KYPE, Giannis Karousos stated that "the biggest organizer of beach parties in Ayia Napa, after pressure from the Municipal Council, decided that this year he would hold only eight such parties. Specifically, last Friday the businessman held the last beach party for this year ".
He added that "now we expect to see the results that small businesses will have next Friday, since no other big beach party will take place".
All the local bodies of Ayia Napa, he continued, "are taking the necessary steps and actions in order to regulate the issue of holding numerous and uncontrolled beach parties so that we do not have such phenomena next year".
Answering a relevant question, Mr. Karousos said that "the specific businessman in 2013 held 23 beach parties, in 2014 he did 19 and this year in 2015 he held eight beach parties. He has informed us that for 2015 he will not hold another beach party and will wait for the decisions that the Municipal Council will take before making future decisions ". He also noted that "we consider that the response of this businessman is a small victory for the Municipal Council of Ayia Napa".
