Apparently this was in the Cyprus Mail and unsurprisingly the North Govt is furious, believing it will affect the tourist trade

(:Z)( GC's now recruiting big business to help their cause. Went to look at something on LIDL app. It's blocked for use in North.

We go to Lidl every week, using the app here works fine.

TUI need to be very careful if the south has said they will stop tui going to the south unless they stop tours to the north I wonder how many thousands of tui flights go to Turkey.

“A total of 2.2 million people travelled on holiday to Turkey with Tui in 2023 – a number which is said to account for up to one in five Tui customers worldwide.“

"Tui denies ending day trips to north" https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/08/23/tui- ... -to-north/

seems TUI has realised the potential losses of custom in Turkey, compared to few 'bob' in south Cyprus and the south administration, appears to be back-tracking now, denying they made TUI withdraw tours under the threat of no more subsidies as a tour group.
