    Short answer - no its not a scam

    Long answer - Its a trip to Cyprus to look at potential home purchases, you will look at quite a few and the ticket prices are subsidised as the agents aim to sell properties which more than offset the costs of flying people places.

    This is general industry practise in buying homes abroad for holiday rentals, many other companies do this too.

    Are you actually interested in buying a property or just getting a cheap holiday? If its the former and you fancy Cyprus then go for it, if not then you won't get too much of a holiday out of it.
