The expansion of Paphos Airport is an important achievement, which strengthens our province and creates new prospects for its tourism and economic development. However, this project cannot be fully exploited without the existence of a modern and safe road network that connects it directly with the main tourist areas, Kato Paphos and Coral Bay.
This is what Paphos MP Chrysanthos Savvides emphasizes speaking to "F", pointing out that the construction of a new road that will connect Paphos Airport with the tourist zone isa project of strategic importance and has been a constant request for more than three decades. Despite discussions from time to time, no substantial progress has been made to date, he observes.
Our goal is to exert all possible pressure on the competent authorities to start the implementation of the project immediately, he says, in order for a modern road network to enhance tourist traffic, facilitate travel and significantly improve the daily lives of citizens.
Regardless of the final decision that will be taken on the new road axis, it is self-evident that an immediate and substantial upgrade of the existing road network is required, which today does not meet modern needs, nor to the standards of road safety and service, emphasizes Mr. Savvidis.
Paphos needs and has the right to modern infrastructure that enhances its tourism dynamics, supports the local economy and substantially improves the quality of life of its residents and visitors, he concluded.
