Paphos Tourism Board Unveils Promotional Video Highlighting Polis Chrysochous

Redefining Tourist Experience In Polis Chrysochous

The Paphos Regional Tourism Board (ETAP) has launched a new promotional video highlighting Polis Chrysochous as part of efforts to strengthen domestic tourism and support local businesses and communities. Part of the board’s broader tourism strategy, the initiative aims to increase visibility for destinations across the Paphos district.

Celebrating Authentic Beauty And Local Culture

Featured throughout the video are beaches, natural landscapes, traditional villages, local gastronomy and cultural landmarks that define the Polis Chrysochous area. According to ETAP, the campaign seeks to showcase the area’s year-round appeal and encourage visitors to explore destinations beyond the peak tourism season.

Targeted Digital Outreach For Enhanced Visibility

Promotion will focus on digital platforms and social media channels targeting the Cypriot market. Through the campaign, ETAP aims to attract domestic travellers by highlighting opportunities for short breaks, family visits and themed tourism experiences.

Fostering Sustainable And Balanced Tourism

Supporting tourism activity across a wider geographic area remains a key objective of ETAP’s strategy for the Paphos district. Greater attention on lesser-known communities is intended to benefit local businesses while distributing visitor activity more evenly across the region.

Encouraging Stakeholder Collaboration

Tourism businesses, hoteliers and local stakeholders have been invited to share the promotional material through their own communication channels. Broader participation in the campaign could help increase awareness of Polis Chrysochous and support ongoing efforts to promote the area to domestic visitors, according to ETAP.

Cyprus Employment Rises 1.7% To 525,167 In Q2 2026

Cyprus employment increased 1.7% year over year to an estimated 525,167 people in the second quarter of 2026, according to the state statistical service, Cystat. Employees accounted for 472,254 of the total, while 52,913 were self-employed. The increase points to continued labor market growth across both wage employment and independent work.

Trade, Construction And Leisure Lead Employment Growth

Wholesale and retail trade, including motor vehicle and motorcycle repair, recorded some of the strongest employment gains, alongside construction and arts, entertainment and recreation.

Those sectors are closely linked to domestic economic activity, with trade reflecting consumer demand and construction reflecting investment. Employment growth in leisure-related industries also points to continued activity in consumer-facing services.

Hours Worked Rise Faster Than Employment

Labor input increased faster than headcount. Cystat estimated that employees and other workers put in 246.57 million hours during the second quarter, up 2.2% from a year earlier.

The increase suggests that businesses were not only employing more people but also recording higher total hours worked. Wholesale and retail trade, construction, and arts, entertainment and recreation again recorded the strongest gains.

Labor Market Expansion Remains Broad-Based

The combination of higher employment and hours worked points to continued expansion in Cyprus’ labor market during the second quarter. The pace remains moderate, but gains across several major sectors indicate that labor demand continued to support economic activity.
