Discover Vision Cyprus, the €50 billion investment plan by Tasyapı Chairman Emrullah Turanlı. From green corridors to tourism innovation, see how North Cyprus could become a Mediterranean hub.
A New Vision for North Cyprus
Emrullah Turanlı, Chairman of Tasyapı and T&T Airport Operations, has unveiled an ambitious master plan called “Vision Cyprus”, which aims to transform the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) into a global center of attraction through radical projects and large-scale investments.
Turanlı emphasized that the initiative should be embraced not only by him but also by Turkish Cypriots abroad, local entrepreneurs, and future generations.
“We must leave behind a better future for our youth, independent of politics,” he said.
🌱 From Green Corridors to a Logistics Hub
One of the central features of Vision Cyprus is the creation of green corridors along the main roads from Ercan Airport, landscaped with olive groves, citrus orchards, and bougainvillea.
Other infrastructure highlights include:
- Smart irrigation systems for sustainable greenery
- Eco-friendly infrastructure projects
- Modern logistics terminals in Güzelyurt
- A 15-million-ton capacity port, positioning North Cyprus as a logistics hub in the Eastern Mediterranean
⚡ Breakthroughs in Energy & Agriculture
The plan also envisions clean energy independence through:
- Solar and wind farms across the island
- High-tech greenhouses designed to cultivate value-added crops, boosting agricultural exports and food security
🏖️ Tourism Innovation at Global Standards
Tourism is a cornerstone of Vision Cyprus, with projects aiming to rival world-class destinations:
- Gazimağusa coastline revitalization with luxury facilities
- A “beach revolution” featuring submerged balloon barriers for safer, cleaner waters
- Artificial islands with boutique villas, marinas, and eco-friendly resorts
- Drone taxis providing sustainable transport to Karpaz
- Grass ski slopes in the mountains and even a covered ice-skiing center
Turanlı stated that these initiatives could raise annual visitor numbers from 3 million to 15 million, potentially generating €50 billion in tourism revenues.
💡 “Too Concrete to Stay on Paper”
Describing the project as both practical and visionary, Turanlı concluded:
“Vision Cyprus is too concrete to remain on paper and bold enough to go beyond dreams. With crystal-clear waters, fertile lands, and free winds, we can build Cyprus’ bright future together.”
🌍 Final Thoughts
