Merit Hotels, known for drawing thousands of tourists to Northern Cyprus through its poker and backgammon tournaments, recently hosted the prestigious ninth International Merit Bridge Tournament. This international event attracted participants from around the world, including past world champions, to compete in Cyprus.

Since bridge was recognized as an official sport by the International Olympic Committee in 1997, its popularity has grown, and the tournament circuit continues to thrive. The International Merit Bridge Tournament, now a key event in the bridge community, not only highlights Merit Hotels’ hospitality but also plays a significant role in promoting tourism in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
