Important contacts were made in Saudi Arabia during the current week by the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Mr. The purpose of the Deputy Minister's visit is to make contacts with the Saudi Arabian market as, as is known, for the first time in years our country is connected by air with this country.
The Deputy Minister of Tourism visited all three cities from which flights are operated to our country, Riyadh, Jeddah and Damam and met with more than 70 tourism professionals, in an effort to raise the visibility of our country in this large market.
Kumis also met with senior airline executives.
Upon his arrival in the city of Dammam, near the border with Bahrain, Kumis met with the President and other officials of the Chamber of Commerce of the Asharqia region.
The Deputy Minister of Tourism was also interviewed by Arab News, and interviews are scheduled with other Saudi media.
In his remarks, the Deputy Minister said the following. I would say that it is a potentially very important market for our country.
We are following the developments in this particular market, and especially the developments in the tourism sector, which, as we know, the Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, has very high priorities.
This is demonstrated through all that is happening in Saudi Arabia, with the effort to build new modern cities and the decision to establish a new airline, Riyadh Air, whose plans are grandiose.
Cyprus is only three hours away from some cities in this large market and this is an additional advantage for our country and of course we must take advantage of it.
It is very important to stress that it is proven through various data that the younger generations of Saudis are looking for destinations with the elements that our country offers and of course we should, as a country and as a tourist destination, attempt to get a good share.
It is also very important that the tourist communities of the two countries come closer together.
It is also very important that the tourist communities of the two countries come closer. I hope that this will happen with the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the two countries which, as you know, was approved by the Council of Ministers recently.
As the Deputy Ministry of Tourism, we believe in the Memorandum of Cooperation and we have started to work on a number of proposals, taking advantage of the information we receive from our Embassy in Saudi Arabia, whose people I would like to thank personally, especially the Honorable Ambassador Mr. Stavros Avgoustidis and the Consul Mr. Christos Demetriou."
