The Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Cyprus reported that last 2024 a barrier of 4 million tourists was overcome. According to Cyprus statistical management, this is 5% more than in 2023.
Kostas Kumis, Deputy Minister of Tourism of the Republic, noted:
“Thus, 2024 is already a new basic year for Cyprus.”
The deputy minister believes that Cyprus has exhausted his capabilities for the further growth of summer tourism:
“The level of employment during this period, especially in the coastal areas, is already very high. Next year, the development of the tourism industry should be carried out in the direction of the creation of alternative proposals: sports, historical, cultural and health tourism. ”
Kostas Kumis also believes that it is necessary to improve the quality and cost of services. This will contribute to an increase in the share of tourism in the gross domestic product, which in 2024 amounted to 13.5%. The main goal for 2025 is a further increase in the contribution of the tourism industry to the country's economy.
