Specifically, in a statement to CNA, Mr. Toumazis said that "the Deputy Ministry of Culture aims to have its own space at Larnaca and Paphos airports, where we will showcase our cultural heritage, either through various objects, information material and contemporary creation."
That is, he explained, "we will inform the public about what is happening in Cyprus, what artists are doing, what is in the museums and what festivals are taking place on the island, through objects of craftsmanship, or other important Cypriot creators".
The aim, he continued, is "to have a continuous information, in an interactive way and with audiovisual media, not only in the special space that we will create, but also in other spaces in the two airports, so that the visitor has a continuous information and contact with what is happening in Cyprus in terms of culture".
He also said that "cultural tourism is a very important element and it is estimated that 40% of world tourism visits a country, not only for the sun, the sea or the natural environment, but also to experience its culture. We believe that it is essential to inform the visitor about the cultural product that Cyprus produces and to showcase our creators so that foreigners arriving on our island can get to know them."
In response to a relevant question, Mr. Toumazis said that "we will start from Larnaca airport and I hope that soon we will be at Paphos airport as well."
