Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Year-Round Holiday. DESCRIPTION: Cyprus could be developed into a first-class holiday resort. All the joys of the seaside are readily available, and, with the exception of about 3 Winter months, wonderful Summer weather. It may not, perhaps, be widely known that you can go Winter-sporting in Cyprus, too. For at least 4 months of the year, the snow lies thick on the Troodos Mountains, and they’ve just been holding international ski contests here, some 6,000 feet up. SHOTLIST: Key scene.
