TURKISH Cypriot ‘prime minister’ Irsen Kucuk reportedly said yesterday that this year was the best ever for tourism in the north since 1974.





Kucuk was talking at the world tourism forum in Kyrenia, Turkish Cypriot press reported.

He said he was hoping the next year would be even better than this one.

Tourists have been arriving on charter flights via Turkey from the Netherlands, Poland, Azerbaijan and Iran, tourism ‘minister’ Unal Ustel had said in August.



He had previously stated that the breakaway regime wanted to raise tourism capacity from about 19,000 beds to 40,000.

Johnholmes Msg 4 -In theory the tourism figures are based on the number of seven night hotel stays.
