Cyprus is working to grow its economy. The government and businesses are doing two main things. They are promoting local wines and improving tourism.
First, Cyprus wants the world to know its wines. The government is helping winemakers go to big international shows. They are focusing on a red wine called Maratheftiko. The Minister of Commerce said this wine is now a key part of the country's identity. Wine exports increased a little in 2024.
Second, tourism is very important. Last year, the airports in Larnaca and Paphos had a record 13 million passengers. This happened because they worked with airlines and tourism groups. Now, 60 airlines fly to Cyprus from 41 countries. Better flight connections help more tourists visit all year.
Also, cities in Cyprus are organizing cultural events. For example, Nicosia will have a big Christmas festival in 2025. The money from the festival will help local people.
These steps help Cyprus share its products and culture with the world.
