The Cyprus economy will collapse in the absence of tourism. Unemployment will rise to unprecedented levels and all Cypriot companies will suffer as a result. Cyprus is not only becoming expensive IT IS bloody expensive .
The cost of daily essentials , bread , milk , cheese , water are much higher than the UK , the largest provider of Tourists. The airport prices for beverages , snacks etc is perhaps the highest in Europe ! As for taxis , well , prices in Paris are cheaper than Cyprus. Take note Cypriots , your livelihood is at risk . Listen not to the GRs of this world , Cyprus not only needs the tourist revenue but it needs to increase it and maintain the present levels.
The income generated by Banks , like in every European country , remains at the banks coffers , the populace at large receives little or no benefit .
Financial executives , lawyers , Accountants etc , all are prone to any serious loss of tourist revenue. Thousands of Cypriots rely on the biggest foreign currency earner for their livelihood. The tourist industry.
