The Association of Tourism Enterprises (STEK), in a statement, expresses its long-standing position for an effective response to the phenomenon of noise pollution.

It notes that the issue was raised at a recent meeting of the Parliamentary Committee of the Interior.

It points out that noise pollution is a chronic problem that negatively affects the quality of our tourism product on offer and offends Cyprus internationally, hampering any efforts to make the country a quality tourist destination.

For years, he adds, hotel businesses have been receiving justified complaints from their customers in relation to the volume of sound from nightclubs adjacent to hotel units.

In recent years, the statement continues, there have been endless discussions in relation to the non-implementation of the law on sound control in leisure centres, but no decisions have been taken on the necessary legislative changes to modernise it, which would lead to a crackdown on illegality.

If we want Cyprus, says STEC, to be considered a quality tourist destination, such amendments to the relevant law and regulations[/B] must be made immediately so that the legislation becomes applicable and the relevant controls are carried out in leisure centres. Otherwise, let's start apologizing in advance to those tourists who will visit our country and will be confronted with this phenomenon," the statement concludes.
