Life is continuing as normal in Cyprus and agents should not be concerned about selling the destination, says The Co-operative Travel Consortium agent Janette Healey, who is currently living on the island.

A British travel agent based in Cyprus has lent her support to a rallying call from hoteliers, asking travel agents not to dismiss the destination this summer.

The Cyprus Hoteliers Association recently reported that bookings were down 40% in March and April.

Travel agent Janette Healey, founder of The Travel Boutique, has had a love affair with Cyprus lasting more than 30 years, and she now splits her time between the Mediterranean island and the UK. She’s currently residing in Lefkara, a scenic mountainous village, 10 minutes from the sea and 20 minutes from Larnaca.
