CTO has priorities all wrong

No wonder the tourists numbers are down when those ‘lovely’ taxi drivers at Paphos airport can commit daylight robbery €85 to Coral Bay with four passengers during the daytime.

The CTO should have a notice board displaying taxi charges to various parts of the island.

Restaurants too have the stupid idea that, as there are fewer visitors ‘let’s double the prices’. Doesn’t the CTO license restaurants?

Instead of spending vast sums on advertising, the CTO should be policing the racketeers.  

The message travels fast that you will be fleeced in Cyprus, so don’t go there!

What a way to destroy a beautiful island’s economy.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
