Outbound tourism is recorded at an increase of 5% this year, with Cypriots going mainly abroad for their summer vacations, particularly in Greece, but also other European countries.
According to the Travel Agents’ Association (ACTA), the vast majority of Cypriots travel to Greece, Britain, Italy, and Austria.
“There are many charter flights to places like Athens, Thessaloniki, and Crete,” ACTA chairman Dinos Kakkouras told CNA today, adding that there are also many charter and new scheduled flights to other areas of Greece like Rhodes, Skiathos, Mykonos, Santorini, Preveza, Kavala, Corfu, Zakynthos.
With respect to inbound tourism, Mr. Kakkouras said that the inflow of tourists being seen is quite important as hotels on Cyprus are all full.
This, he noted, is expected to continue over the coming weeks and the hope is that the remaining winter months will operate equally well with a significant increase in tourism on Cyprus.
