Reports: Concern in Paphos over drunk tourists
Tourism stakeholders in Paphos are concerned about the damage drunk tourists may cause to their town as a tourist destination.
The latest incident occurred over the weekend, when a a foreign tourist broke a TV at a local pub. He was later arrested at Paphos airport.
Tourism stakeholders told Phileleftheros newspaper that for decades Paphos has enjoyed a good reputation among visitors, free of brawls and public disturbance.
They said that even though the handful of incidents in recent months were isolated, they sent a bad message to tourist operators and potential visitors, and therefore needed to be tackled at their root.
