50 palm trees were planted along the Mackenzie embankment, and previously another 200 were planted in Oroklini. And in Tochni, three fountains that were installed here during the colonial period have been restored.
The results of a long-term program to create green areas throughout the region were shared by the Larnaca Tourism Development Association on August 6.
“These abandoned springs have been renovated and their new appearance has improved the image of the village,” the association said in a statement about the fountains in Tochni. Two fountains now provide drinking water to visitors, including many cyclists, as Tochni lies on a popular cycle route.
Other initiatives of the Tourism Development Association include: the creation of a new beekeeping trail in the village of Vavla, the improvement of the coastal park of Pyla and the national forest park of Rizoelia, the opening of a demonstration village farm in the village of Agios Theodoros.
In addition, the Larnaca Tourism Development Association is adopting the products of the Cypriot startup theBreath. An innovative company has created a special technology to absorb harmful exhaust emissions and break down harmful particles using fabric. This is a passive air purification process using natural air flow and without additional energy requirements. The technology will be used in hotels in the region.
“This initiative contributes to the development of a new identity for Larnaca and carries an eco-friendly message for local residents and tourists,” the statement said.
