With a renewed appearance of its stands, Cyprus participates again this year in the big World Travel Market of London (World Travel Market) in the Excel exhibition space.
In total, more than 50 co-authors, businessmen and tourism operators, have the opportunity from today until Wednesday to present their products and services and make important contacts in view of the next tourist season.
Present at the exhibition and in meetings with airlines and travel organizers will be the Minister of Energy, Trade, Industry and Tourism George Lakkotrypis, who is expected in the British capital late Monday afternoon due to the delay of the plane that will transport him to London.

Mr. Lakkotrypis will have the opportunity to address the situation and prospects of Cypriot tourism at a press conference on Tuesday, while in the evening of the same day the Cypriot delegation will participate in a networking event with businessmen from the United Kingdom.
