Around 330 families living at the Governor's Beach campsite in Limassol have been notified to vacate their caravans after the operator's contract expired. Testimony before the parliamentary refugee committee indicated that about 102 families use the caravans as permanent housing and could become homeless if the decision is enforced. Residents pay €1,500 per year in rent, and some of their children attend Pentakomo school. DISY MP Giorgos Lysandridis, citing deputy tourism ministry information, said some people rent out caravans via Airbnb. Dimitris Souglis, MP for Direct Democracy, noted that after the Turkish Cypriot owner died, the land was sold to the manager and then to a foreign investor who plans to build a hotel unit.
