Notebooks for the tourism sector (Cyprus)

Why this combination works

A Paphos DMC tour leader fills a notebook a day — the guest list, the coach pickup schedule, the day's weather notes, and the lunchtime restaurant booking. The notebook has to survive the May–October sun, the seawater at the Baths of Aphrodite, and the back-of-the-coach storage for the whole season. A 70 gsm promotional notebook bleeds through on the third pen stroke; 80 gsm cream paper with a kraft or PU cover and the Akamas trail map printed on the front endpaper is the upgrade that survives the season and reads as the DMC's signature. For Ayia Napa and Protaras water-sports accounts, the same SKU works as the post-session tour-souvenir notebook.

Models and materials that fit

Workhorse for tour-leader issue: A5 hardcover notebook with kraft cover, 80 gsm cream paper, 192 lined pages, stitched binding, full-colour Akamas trail map printed on the front endpaper. Welcome-pack giveaway edition: A5 softcover with kraft cover, 70 gsm cream paper, saddle-stitched binding, single-colour DMC crest. Premium tier for cruise-suite guests and DMC VIP transfers: A5 hardcover with leather-look PU cover, 100 gsm ivory paper, gilt edges, gift-box presentation. All notebooks are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

Prints and branding approaches

Full-colour print on the kraft softcover reproduces large DMC logos and Akamas trail maps cleanly. Single-colour foil stamping in copper or gold on the front cover adds a premium finishing touch reserved for the engineer-tier edition. Inside the cover, full-colour print on the front endpaper carries the tour-route map, the day's weather notes, and the duty manager's contact list. We work from licensed Akamas trail photography and can supply a digital proof before production.

Bundling and packaging

Tour-leader notebooks are bulk-packed 50 per master carton with a printed asset label on each unit, distributed at the start-of-season briefing in March. Welcome-pack giveaway notebooks are individually polybagged and bundled with a water bottle and a travel-guide pamphlet in a kraft sleeve — handed to arriving guests at Larnaca airport and the cruise terminal. Premium cruise-suite editions are individually boxed in a kraft gift envelope and hand-delivered to the suite by the concierge.

Cyprus context

Most tourism notebook orders out of Cyprus ship from our Limassol hub, which sits 25 minutes from Larnaca airport and serves the DMC cluster along the Limassol coast. Paphos handles the resort-tour accounts along Poseidonos Avenue and the Kato Paphos harbour. The CTO (Cyprus Tourism Organisation) FAM-trip editions run twice yearly (March and September) and pull a 200+ unit order for the international tour-operator familiarisation programme. The Larnaca cruise terminal and the new Limassol port cruise berth both order visitor-souvenir editions throughout the May–October cruise season.

Frequently asked questions

What GSM paper survives seawater and sun cream on a Paphos DMC tour-leader notebook?
