"This year, we are conducting a promotional campaign at our 70m2 stand to connect our tourism professionals with the Arab market, to develop tourism in our country. Tourism in our country is growing every day. This year, we aim to exceed the pre-pandemic pace," the minister said.

In addition to promotional brochures, Northern Cyprus' stand featured dishes from the national cuisine and coffee.
