Tourism as a sector of the national economy

Tourism is one of the key sectors of national economies in the new millennium, and its dynamic development can be clearly seen at the global and national levels. According to World Tourism Organization forecasts, the number of international arrivals will increase to 1,8 billion by 2030. “Recent estimates indicate that the tourism industry makes up approximately 12 percent of the Cyprus GDP and has emerged as one of the largest global job creators. The tourism industry is an engine for economic growth. It influences investment decisions, promotes job creation and raises the qualification standards of employees.

Cyprus offers tourists a wide range of activities. Stunning landscape and a rich history are the foundations on which to build world-class tourist destinations.

Factors such as a temperate weather, picturesque landscapes, beautiful sunsets, a rich historical, natural and cultural heritage, and a tradition of hospitality and good food are the basis for a thriving industry.

KPMG‘s Travel, Leisure & Tourism (TLT) practice provides advisory services based on consistent methodologies, a personal approach and a high quality.

Advisory services for the hotel and resort industry

With new destinations becoming easily accessible, consolidation between market players and branding being increasingly important, the hotel and resort industry has been going through some major changes in the last years. Following new lifestyle concepts emerging worldwide, the economic downturn affecting the whole industry in most markets had brought difficult times for hotel operators and investors alike.The severe shortage of financing and the cautious investment attitude resulted in a flattened development market and lack of transactions. However, as the economic balance is regained and the prospects of growth are real, tourism – a highly responsive industry – shows promising signs of recovery and expansion in the EMA region.As a result, real estate as an asset class is regaining its importance and there is a growing interest in investment opportunities in well conceived integrated hotel and resort projects. The need for preparing detailed market appraisals, understanding target markets’ preferences and conceptualizing original projects has

never been such a crucial aspect of the predevelopment process.Consumer trends at resorts are constantly evolving: people live longer than previous generations; they are becoming environmentally, health and fitness conscious and are searching for an escape from work-related stress. Identifying and understanding these and other preferences represents an opportunity for resort developers to attract a wider range of potential investors.
