Hotel occupancy rates in Paphos have decreased significantly this summer, falling approximately 20% compared to the same period in 2025. According to Thanos Michaelides, president of the Cyprus Hotel Association’s Paphos branch, this drop has occurred despite a rise in last-minute bookings, indicating challenges for the local tourism sector. Hotels in the area are currently facing occupancy rates around 70%, well below the expected target of 90%.
In response to these declining occupancy rates, hotel operators are implementing measures to attract local tourism. Efforts are being made to enhance the quality of services provided, as industry leaders emphasize that maintaining service standards is crucial, even amid financial pressures. The ongoing geopolitical situation in the Middle East has been cited as a contributing factor to the decline in international tourist arrivals. The Paphos hotel industry is hopeful that increased local interest can help mitigate the impact of these challenges over the summer months.
