For a flagship project which will change the tourist landscape not only of Cyprus, but also the Eastern Mediterranean, President Nicos Anastasiades spoke at the inauguration ceremony of the Ayia Napa Marina on Tuesday, which he described as a jewel of the Mediterranean.
Expressing his thanks to Naguib Sawiris and the Caramondani Group for the completion of an investment project worth more than 300 million euros, President Anastasiades praised the marina's world-class international sailing facilities, luxury residences and multi-purpose entertainment areas, the only one in the immediate region with ISO certification for environmental protection and the provision of smart services to ships and visitors, adding that the added value of such a development significantly strengthens Cyprus' position in an increasingly competitive global environment.
"Both I and the Government feel really proud, as this project proves that we are making full use of our comparative advantages, such as our location at the crossroads of three continents, with an established hospitality culture and a modern legal system that is widely recognised as efficient and truly business-friendly," he said, adding that these advantages allow the creation of high-value projects that create hundreds of new jobs and attract high quality employees.
Furthermore, the President of the Republic noted that flagship projects, such as the Ayia Napa Marina, are part of the Government's strategically oriented policies to establish Cyprus as a year-round tourist destination in line with the National Tourism Strategy 2030, which includes, inter alia, the development of nautical and marine tourism through the development of marinas along the coastline and the licensing of berths for yachts and yachts.
In conclusion, the President of the Republic underlined the obvious benefits and opportunities that the Ayia Napa Marina will bring and the positive results that the constructive and transparent cooperation between the Government, local authorities and the private sector will bring, "benefits and opportunities that are obvious to all of us who are launching this project, which I have no doubt will not only upgrade Famagusta province or Cyprus in general, but will prove to be a jewel of Cyprus and the Mediterranean".
