Strategic Location Europe's Middle Eastern Outpost
Cyprus's strategic location at the crossroads of three continents has been a major factor in shaping its history throughout the centuries and its development into not only a major eastern Mediterranean trading post but also a reputable international business and services centre.
Upon membership into the European Union, Cyprus is being transformed into a key outpost in the Eastern Mediterranean, facilitating partnerships and serving as the springboard for investments among Europe, Africa, and Asia. Providing the perfect gateway for businesses to penetrate new markets, Cyprus is a heaven for modern business.
Cyprus location is further enhanced by its connectivity to the busy trade routes linking Western Europe with the Arab World and the Far East. Specifically, a wide network of air routes connects Cyprus with Europe, Africa and Asia; over a 1.100 scheduled flights per week are served by 32 international airlines while a large number of chartered flights are operated by 41 chartered airlines. In addition, about 70 shipping lines include Cyprus in their regular schedules to and from the 5 continents and 4.800 ships totalling 20 million net registered tons call at Cypriot ports each year.
Cyprus has become the EU’s key trading post in the eastern Mediterranean, providing a point of exchange between Europe, Africa, and Asia. Τhe island’s location also makes it an ideal transhipment centre, with Cypriot companies operating independently and with foreign partners to ship goods into and out of the EU via Cyprus. Unsurprisingly, Cyprus is one of the key international transhipment centres with substantial amount of products re-exported; amounting in 2005 to approximately €802 million Euros.
