In June 2026, tourist arrivals in Cyprus decreased by 1.7% compared to the same month in the previous year, as reported by the Cyprus Statistical Service (Cystat). This marked a less significant decline than the steeper drops observed earlier in the year, contributing to an overall decrease of 10.1% in tourist arrivals for the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year. The total number of tourists arriving in June was recorded at 489,965.
Deputy Minister of Tourism Kostas Koumis commented on the figures, stating that despite the challenges posed by a resurgence of tensions in the Middle East, the tourism sector appears to have returned to a stable trajectory. Koumis described the June performance as satisfactory given the circumstances, emphasizing that the slight decline was an improvement over earlier indicators this year.
