Φέτος, που όλα είναι διαφορετικά, ας ανακαλύψουμε τον τόπο μας ξανά!

Φέτος εξερεύνησε το νησί σου. Πήγαινε να απολαύσεις τις χαρές του βουνού, για να αποκομίσεις άλλες εμπειρίες. Γίνε περιπατητής σε μαγευτικά μονοπάτια της φύσης, με καταρράκτες με γάργαρα νερά και μυρωδιές πεύκου και αρωματικών φυτών, που η Κύπρος κατάφυτη προσφέρει απλόχερα. Ανακάλυψε την ομορφιά της θάλασσας, την ηρεμία του βυθού, την ζεστή αγκαλιά της αμμουδιάς κι άσε τον ορίζοντα να σε ταξιδέψει στο γαλάζιο του.



Ζήσε τα όλα εδώ!
Κύπρος. Ένα νησί, αμέτρητες εμπειρίες!

Attending a conference, seminar or professional training in the sun is one of the most motivating incentives for many delegates, and the Cyprus Convention Bureau (CCB) is uniquely placed to offer these services for inspiring and successful business events on Aphrodite’s beautiful island.
There are so many reasons as to why Cyprus is naturally conducive to a positive business outcome… The island has a climate that is particularly favourable in the Mediterranean part of the European Union (EU), with short and mild winters and abundant sunshine for more than 300 days annually. Combining a conference with the many outdoor activities the island offers is easy thanks to this fantastic weather, combined with the short travel distances that link all its regions quickly and efficiently.
As one of the world’s oldest civilisations – with a history of over 11,000 years – delegates can immerse themselves in a wealth of ancient culture, whilst also enjoying a welcome that is as warm as the sands of the many and varied coastal fronts. From delicious cuisine and traditional tavernas to elegant wine bars, and a world of options for relaxation and entertainment, business can be seamlessly combined with pleasure.
Hotel establishments across the island are equipped to hold business events with state-of-the-art conference facilities, and delegates can also opt for the luxury of staying at the same location as your event. Further venues for small conferences, gala dinners, themed nights or opening ceremonies can also be utilised, from purpose-built halls, to more unusual cultural settings such as Medieval castles and ancient amphitheatres.
And when it comes to added incentives, it is difficult to pick from the many wine routes, cruises, sporting activities, team-building pursuits, spa and wellness options and traditional, hands-on experiences available.
The CCB is designed to assist the organisation of business events in Cyprus from abroad and offers an attractive programme of grants, benefits and incentives, with perks such as complimentary giveaways and informative material, to airport Meet and Greet and hospitality vouchers, along with technical and financial support.
With hundreds of conference rooms and the capacity to seat thousands of delegates at business events and host them at hotels, Cyprus has the ability to create meetings with warmth and enthusiasm that will bring the drive for success back home to your business, and leave it with lasting – and motivational – memories of your time on the island.
