AbstractThis chapter explores the place of tourism in the current arrangements for Cyprus' membership in the EU, looking at the impact of enlargement on tourism, but also on the part tourism plays in both helping and hindering progress towards agreement and the process of 'Europeanization'. It starts with a brief survey of tourism development on the island and a comparison of the tourist industry north and south. Following sections summarize the provisions of the 'Green Line Regulation' and its impact on cross-border traffic and cooperation. Subsequent sections consider the current legal impasse over ownership and investment in land and property in the north, and the attempts to achieve EU standards of environmental protection in the face of a construction boom.
