In the framework of our project “CIVITAS DESTINATIONS”, STRATAGEM developed a Sustainable Mobility Tourist Action Plan (SMTAP) for Limassol city centre which aims to satisfy the mobility needs of tourism and citizens towards a better quality of life. The development of the SMTAP started with a research and a site visit that occurred in September of 2017 to the study area of Limassol. The study, research and field work were concluded in November of 2017, with the conclusion of the SMTAP. Between 2017 – 2020 the implementation of the actions took place. The Plan was reviewed and officially approved in September 2020 by the Limassol Municipality. You can download the SMTAP here.
The SMTAP promotes the transformation of the Limassol city centre to a more attractive destination for tourists who can enjoy their vacations with less noise and air pollution, free space, less traffic, healthier and safer environment and access to sustainable modes of transport. This plan also includes electro-mobility solutions for visitors and residents as well as cooperation between the tourism and mobility sectors aiming to change the behaviour of locals and visitors, focusing on the leisure of tourists.
With the complete implementation of the activities indicated in the SMTAP, the Limassol city became more accessible, safe, functional and friendly with attractive, green and quiet neighbourhoods, a vibrant urban centre, numerous, spacious and wonderful open public spaces, creating a wealth of economic, business, educational, recreational and cultural opportunities.
CIVITAS DESTINATIONS Project is the kick start for moving Limassol city towards sustainable mobility.
