CYPRUS has pulled out of Israel's annual tourism expo after 15 years of continuous participation in protest over the presence of a Turkish Cypriot company at the event.

The government announced that it would not take part in the 15th International Mediterranean Tourism Market (IMTM), which opened in Tel Aviv yesterday, after the organisers agreed to allow a Turkish Cypriot company listed as “North Cyprus Tourism Centre Ltd” to participate."
