I would have thought viewing this Forum gives one a general idea what's going on, but with warts and all!

Just received Cyprus Today Wed July 21st.

Headlines

'Capital gains'. New flights to & from London hailed as a glimmer of hope for the TRNC embattled tourism industry but industry leaders say a shortage of airline seats is still leaving it in a "pitiful" situation. And there are fresh warnings that soaring ticket prices in the wake of the CTA collapse will price NC out of the holiday market. Reports of up to £800 being demanded for a return ticket from the UK brought criticism from travel agents and tourist leaders, who cautioned travellers could buy an entire package to another destination for that.

Orphan Tolun Travel Agents Association said figures showed TRBC tourism remained in a 'pitiful' position. CTA had 40 flights to UK, v Atlas Jet 8, Anadolu 7.

His words were echoed by Mehmet Dolman, chairman of the TRNC Hoteliers Union who issued a bleak forcast. 'We have heard about new companies and new planes coming to the North, but with these ticket prices, I don't think there will be a Northern Cyprus tourist sector very soon. Demanding £800 from passengers is simply a disgrace and cruel. They can easily buy a package holiday elsewhere for half the price.' Mr Dolmaci & Mr Tolun rubbished claims on Monday by Transport & Communications Minister Hamza Ersan Saner that he expected ticket prices to fall from this week. Mr T described the comments as 'tragi-comic' and Mr D added 'The time has passed for...
