Minister of Tourism and Environment Fikri Atao\u011flu said the Lefke Vas\u0131f Palas Museum would open very soon, adding: \u201cI believe that, together with these new museums brought into tourism, the tourists expected to enter the country from June under the double-PCR and double-vaccination requirement will also make a major contribution to local businesses in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lefke Development Plan.<\/p>\n

We have now reached the final stage of that work.\u201d Noting that public participation meetings could not be held because of the pandemic, Minister Atao\u011flu added: \u201cBecause case numbers have been low in recent days, following our discussions with the Health Board, the Lefke Development Plan will come into effect together with the public participation meeting to be held after Eid al-Fitr.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our aim is to bring the CMC area back to Lefke…<\/p>\n
