Why is Limassol spending millions on a new marina.Tourist numbers are down and are due to fall again this year.Are they expecting an influx of millionaires ?

Tourist numbers where up this year. And revenues from tourism were even higher. What they want is to attract more quality tourists. Quality in this case means richer :lol:

I thought tourist numbers in Limassol were down ? Does the town council believe building the marina will bring in wealthier tourists.Will they continue to support the horrible tourist area or will that receive a face lift.

I don't know about limassol in particular. I think they believe that the marina will bring wealthier tourists. Why is tourist area horrible? Maybe it is just not your style but it doesn't mean is horrible!

Yes,not my style.It seems to have had it's day.Dead in July and August last year.Limassol had had dreadful season,hotels closed down and staff on part time.Petros in the old market square said it was the worst summer he had....
