The Famagusta district (referring to the government-controlled free areas) includes the tourism hubs of Ayia Napa, Protaras, and Paralimni. The local economy is heavily tourism-dependent with pronounced seasonal patterns, and business services focus on hospitality, food & beverage, and property/holiday rental operations.
