Paphos Entertainment Venues See Increased Traffic, But Less Than Retail

Traffic at entertainment venues in Paphos is increased, but not to the extent seen in retail. Paphos Deputy Mayor and President of the Association of Entertainment Centers, Angelos Onisiforou, reports that the financial difficulties of citizens, due to the accumulation of tax obligations, limit their spending on entertainment. This year's traffic is lower than last year's, with fewer bookings from both domestic and foreign tourists. In contrast, the market is experiencing a large increase, especially in clothing, footwear and electronics. The trend of celebrating at home appears to be stronger this year.
