Paphos district council reported on 25 June that 150 QR-enabled ‘smart signs’ installed since January have logged 43,221 scans, giving authorities granular data on how tourists and residents navigate the UNESCO-listed city.

For travellers eager to explore this data-driven heritage hub, VisaHQ can simplify the pre-trip paperwork. Its dedicated Cyprus page (https://www.visahq.com/cyprus/) lets visitors instantly check visa requirements for every passport, complete online applications and receive status alerts—freeing up more time to plan those QR-guided wanderings.
Insights are already influencing crowd-management: the council is adding shaded rest areas along the harbour promenade, while tour operators are staggering coach arrivals at Tombs of the Kings to ease morning congestion.
