She told the delegates that "capitalizing on its strategic location, Cyprus has developed into a reputable international services hub, especially in the legal, tax, accounting, investment, banking and shipping industries. And talking about travel and leisure, Cyprus is one of the most popular tourist resorts in the Mediterranean Sea. In fact it is the ideal destination for relaxed and enriching holidays."
