The aim of the Plan is, on the one hand, to provide quality services to low-income people, but also to support our country's mountain resorts, which, through their operation, offer a significant number of jobs in areas outside urban centres, enhance the tourist product of Cyprus during the winter months, thus helping to extend the tourist season and, through their operation, support to a significant extent the communities in which they operate.

As regards the application procedure, the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance will inform the beneficiaries in detail as soon as the procedures regarding the implementation of the Plan are finalised.
