MITOMED PROJECT REGIONAL GAP AND SWOT ANALYSES – Review Session Larnaca District Development Agency CYPRUS MITOMED Second Meeting Girona, 15-16 January 2015
Overview of the Activities Carried out in Cyprus • Assign a team of 4 people to work for the project: • review which indicators are feasible, relevant and important for Cyprus, • collect the data for the indicators, • prepare the SWOT analysis for M&C tourism for Cyprus • collect relevant data for the good practice. • Engage stakeholders to the process: • identify the stakeholders to be involved (already has be done during the preliminary survey) • start to contact and involve the stakeholders to the activities of MITOMED
Overview of the Activities Carried out in Cyprus • Stakeholders: • Cyprus Tourism Organization (CTO), • Statistical Service of Cyprus, • Ministry of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism Nautical Tourism Development Unit • Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Water Development Department • Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative • Regional Tourism Development and Promotion Board of Larnaca. • Local Authorities – District offices of Larnaca and Famagusta • Cyprus Agrotourism Company
Overview of the Activities Carried out in Cyprus • We have carefully reviewed the initial list of the indicators and see which are feasible and relevant/ important for Cyprus organize a focus group with the stakeholders • Started the collection of data based on the final list of indicators. • Prepare the SWOT Analysis } • Selected a Good Practice } Involve Stakeholders and get feedback from them
Overview of the Activities Carried out in Cyprus • Focus group:
Overview of the Activities Carried out in Cyprus • Overview of the process • From the focus group we have also identified for each indicator (most of them) the relevant data source: • → Most of the data were available from the Statistical Service of Cyprus • → Data from the Research Department of the CTO. • → Some available data from the two relevant Ministries from relevant reports and data bases they have (some data are not available on line).
Overview of the Activities Carried out in Cyprus • Overview of the process • The team started to collect the relevant data for year 2013 (in cooperation with the stakeholders), • For every indicator we recorded the source of data relevant comments on this issue. • All data files, reports, studies etc. that where used are saved in a folder and linked to each indicator, • Decision: update list of indicators every year but we need to include more indicators (the ones that are relevant for Cyprus and also feasible from the initial list). • Recorded problems we face and gaps, • By the 12th of December we have collected all the data.
Overview of the Activities Carried out in Cyprus • Overview of the process • On the 17th December we had a second focus group where we presented the results and get comments/ feedback from them and on the 18th we have sent the data to UOG.

SWOT ANALYSIS of M&C destinations in Cyprus During the second focus group we had the opportunity to present the SWOT Analysis for Maritime and Coastal Tourism in Cyprus and get comments and feedbacks from the stakeholders

Regional good practices • Good Practice: Water data collection, data bases, access and utilization of data by third parties – The upgrade to a Geographical Information System • NECSTouR Topic of the practice Reduction and Optimization of Use of Natural Resources with particular reference to Water • All Country • Started November 2010 and finish end of 2013 • The Water Development Department is responsible for implementing the water in Cyprus main objective of this policy is the rational development, protection and management of the water resources of Cyprus.
Regional good practices • On November of 2010 the WD with respect to water data collection (Law 79(I)/2010) started the following activities : • To conduct activities related to the investigation, monitoring and research of the Republic's water resources, • To conduct water monitoring and control programmes, • To collect, evaluate and maintain data and information on the available water resources and on their quality, • To construct, maintain and operate hydrometric works, • To keep registers and data bases.
Regional good practices • Based on this the WD start the collection of data-on the Water Quantity: • Rivers: monitoring programme: Data collected from 52 sites on a continuous/mean daily flows and data are available on a time series since October 1965. • Groundwater: monitoring programme: Data from 50 sites once a month and data on springflow and temperatures. Data are available on time series since 1950. • Groundwater levels: More than 1100 boreholes are currently monitored and data collected twice a month with time series since 1960. • Reservoirs: monitoring programme: Data collected from 19 sites on a daily basis on the water level and storage. Time series from the 1990.
Regional good practices • For the Water Quality: • Surface Waters: 45 river monitoring stations, frequency: 9time per year, 13 lake (reservoir) monitoring stations, frequency: 6 times per year. Elements for biological monitoring: macroinvertebrates, phytobenthos, macrophytes, chlorophyll a. Parameters for chemical monitoring: Metals, VOCs, Pesticides, PCBs, PAHs, nutrients, microbiology, exotoxicology, physico‐chemical parameters (Temp., pH, EC, DO, Turbidity) • Groundwater: 88 monitoring stations: 85 boreholes, 3 springs. Frequency: 2 times per year. Parameters for chemical monitoring: Metals, VOCs, Pesticides, ionic analyses, physico‐chemical parameters.
Regional good practices • For the Water Quality: • Small reservoirs monitoring programme: 21 reservoirs, frequency: 3 times per year. Parameters: Ionic analysis, nutrients, physico‐chemical parameters. • Major springs monitoring programme. 50 springs, frequency: 2 times per year. Parameters: Ionic analysis, physico‐chemical parameters. • Monitoring of village drinking water sources. Large number of boreholes and springs, frequency: once a year. • Monitoring of water temperature of major reservoirs. frequency: 2 times per week. • Monitoring of physico‐chemical parameters in rivers. >60 sites, frequency: once a month.

Regional good practices • in 2010 began the implementation of the first phase of the project "Creation of an Integrated Geographic Information System for the Water Development Department”. • That was: • Creation of a Database consisting of inter alia geographic data (measuring stations, basins, projects) and hydrometeorological (surface water, groundwater, rainfall) and management data. • Management System: a Subsystem of Management and Processing Geographic and Hydrological Data. • Network Management Applications: network management by category such as mapping and the management of network zones
Regional good practices • The second had the objective to further develop and expand the applications, which will add more value to existing data and increase the analytical and functionality of the systems. • Some of the activities of the second phase are: • further expansion of the first phase systems in the Services and the District Offices, Operating System and Maintenance and fixed networks, • Metering Management System interface with telemetry and Balance Sheet Water Quantities, • Applications graded access to different subsystems of the Internet and a hydrosystem management system and dam safety.
