Record Year for Cypriot Tourism and International Recognition, Says Koumis

The Deputy Minister of Tourism, Kostas Koumis, described 2025 as a very successful year for the Cypriot tourism industry, with a new record in arrivals from Germany after 28 years. The German market, traditionally the largest in the world, had previously reached a record of 250,000 arrivals in 1997. In 2025, Cyprus recorded a 12% increase in tourist arrivals compared to the previous year and a 40% increase over three years, along with a significant increase in tourism revenue. Furthermore, Cyprus was recognized at a pan-European level for improving air connectivity and increasing tourism revenue.
