He pointed out that these <strong>challenges, from the energy crisis to inflation and labour shortages, necessitated a unified approach to ensure the sector\u2019s recovery and growth.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nHe said, <strong>\u201cAs a country and as a tourist destination with a history and reliable strategic partners, we have to ensure the high quality of services, which involves repeated visits and multiple benefits for the economy.\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0<br \/>\nKoumis outlined Cyprus\u2019 commitment to enhancing its tourism offerings, especially in rural areas, and the ongoing push for cooperation with other European nations facing similar hurdles. \u201cWe\u2019ve initiated a comprehensive plan to enhance tourism services nationwide, including rural areas, and will persist in these efforts,\u201d Koumis said.\u00a0<br \/>\nThe summit, which is a key gathering for UNWTO European Regional Commission members, discussed investment in tourism and its potential to drive economic growth. With Europe reaching 94 per cent of its pre-pandemic tourism levels in 2023, Africa rebounded to 96 per cent, and the Americas to 90 per cent, the meeting served as a crucial platform for addressing the new and existing obstacles to sectoral prosperity.\u00a0<br \/>\nDuring the conference, Koumis held meetings with UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili, his Albanian counterpart Vilma Bello, Israeli counterpart Haim Katz, as well as with Kazakh Minister of Tourism and Sports Yerzhan Yerkinbayev.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: Deputy Minister of
