Keep Our Sand and Sea Plastic Free, a TUI Care Foundation initiative delivered in partnership with the Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative (CSTI), brought together tourists, tourism businesses and residents across Ayia Napa, Protaras and the wider Famagusta region of Cyprus to cut consumption of single-use plastic.
The project has now been extended, and will run for a further three years (to 2025) with an extension to Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos.with delivery spearheaded by CSTI.
It has produced some excellent results, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting drop in international arrivals (84% in 2020 and 51% in 2021 compared to 2019 levels).
