Tourism Arrivals Getting Close to Pre-Pandemic Levels
November 1, 2022
In 2022, Cyprus tourism reached 80% of tourist arrivals in 2019, with arrivals from the EU increasing by 22%, while the budget of the Deputy Ministry of Tourism is fully absorbed, said Deputy Minister Savvas Perdios.
Speaking before a parliamentary committee on financial and budgetary affairs, Perdios underlined that the EU tourism market is "the most stable framework for the development of our tourism" over the next three years.
He also emphasised that the country's tourism identity has changed, while the money given to improve the tourist product has increased from 10 to 28% of the budget, with a quarter of the money spent on advertising directed to digital technology.
