British Travelers Appointed As Tourism Ambassadors By Ayia Napa

A renowned British couple, whose unwavering dedication has seen them choose Ayia Napa as their exclusive holiday destination on 70 separate occasions, has been honored by the local authority. This prestigious recognition reflects not only their enduring affinity for the coastal town but also their role as ambassadors on behalf of British visitors.

Historic Loyalty And Cultural Connection

Peter and Glynnis Ditchburn have become synonymous with Ayia Napa’s unique charm. Their repeated visits underscore a deep cultural connection that transcends the typical tourist experience. The couple’s loyalty has translated into a significant endorsement, making them exemplary figures in promoting the town’s appeal to visitors from Great Britain.

Recognition From Local Leadership

The award was presented by Ayia Napa mayor Christos Zannettou, who lauded the Ditchburns as not only devoted tourists but as bona fide honorary locals. The mayor highlighted their impressive travel record as a testament to the town’s allure and the exceptional hospitality that both locals and authorities extend to all visitors.

This prestigious appointment adds a compelling narrative to Ayia Napa’s marketing story, setting a benchmark for tourism loyalty and encouraging similar long-term engagements. In an era where destination authenticity is increasingly valued, the Ditchburns’ story offers a powerful example of how repeated positive experiences can forge enduring bonds between visitors and their chosen getaway.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
