How Tourism and Real Estate Development are Related

The world's biggest and most famous cities are all where they are today because of tourism. From the iconic landmarks of Paris and Rome to the glitz and glamour of New York City, local attractions create a significant economic impact on cities by drawing millions of visitors in to spend, stay, and explore. The resulting increased demand for goods and services has a direct effect on local development, which manifests both in employment opportunities and in the form of real estate.

When tourists visit a new city, they need a place to stay, whether it be hotels, vacation rentals, or hostels. This creates a demand for real estate in the form of accommodation options. As more tourists visit and stay longer periods of time, the demand for housing also increases.

But not just any housing. Tourists are often drawn to unique and charming accommodations that provide an authentic experience of the city they are visiting. This has led to a rise in short-term vacation rentals, such as Airbnb, which have become increasingly popular among travelers looking for a more local and immersive experience.

Projects catered toward pleasure-seekers and wanderers are different from regular real estate developments in that they are designed to be more than just a place to live. They are created with the intention of providing an experience - a temporary home away from home. This can be seen in the design, amenities, and location of these properties.

What's So Special About Cyprus?

Cyprus is a small but significant island nation located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is known for its rich history, having been inhabited by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans throughout the centuries. Today, it is a popular tourist destination for its sunny weather, beautiful beaches, and vibrant culture.

The once-thriving old-world trade town of Limassol now serves as the island's biggest and most bustling city. Modern infrastructure, expanding suburban areas, and a growing economy have made Limassol a hub of activity for both locals and visitors alike. The city is also known for its annual wine festival, which attracts thousands of tourists to sample some of Cyprus' finest wines.

That's not to say that the local climate doesn't play a huge role in the appeal of Cyprus. The island enjoys an average of 320 days of sunshine a year, not to mention crystal-clear waters, mountains, and beaches galore. Residents have an abundance of opportunities for sun and fun at their feet, from swimming, snorkeling, and diving to hiking, cycling, and watersports.

MEDITERRA: Tourism Development Done Right

MEDITERRA does Cyprus' revered reputation as a heavenly getaway justice by exceeding standards in every way possible. It isn't just another residential development - rather, a purpose-driven project that has been conceptualized, designed, and acted upon with great forethought. The ultimate goal? To create a living community that respects and reflects its natural surroundings so as to preserve the area's unique, worldwide appeal.

Environmental responsibility is at the crux of this ambition.

The community is built with eco-friendly materials that are energy-efficient, resulting in reduced carbon emissions and lower utility costs for residents. Green spaces such as parks and gardens are incorporated into the design to create a harmonious balance between urban living and nature.

This is in line with Kibris Developments' longstanding mission to create developments that enhance the natural beauty of Cyprus rather than take away from it.

Of course, tourism development also needs to appeal to the leisure and recreation needs of investors. That's why MEDITERRA offers a plethora of amenities within the confines of its community, including a swimming pool, fitness center, and yoga studio.

The coastal town of Kyrenia serves as the perfect location for this project, which sits among many notable Northern Cyprus tourism investments to spring up in the region over recent years.

MEDITERRA is within minutes of the beach, as well as Gave and Natura SPA, restaurants, supermarkets, and boutique shops. Here, you're never more than a few moments away from one of the world's most sought-after tourism and vacation destinations.

Some choose to visit, but others take the initiative to make it their new home. Explore the possibilities of Northern Cyprus by learning more about MEDITERRA today.
