Cyprus Tourism Revenue Surges With 17.4% Growth In Early 2025

Robust Revenue Growth

Tourism revenues in Cyprus from January to July 2025 reached an impressive €1.89 billion, up from €1.61 billion during the same period in 2024. This 17.4% increase, as reported by the Statistical Authority, highlights the steady expansion of the sector in a highly competitive market.

July 2025 Performance Highlights

In July 2025 alone, tourism income climbed to €513 million, an 8.2% rise compared to €474 million in July 2024. Additionally, the average per capita spending by tourists increased to €870.78, representing a modest 1.3% improvement from the previous month’s €859.95.

Key Market Contributions

Analysis of visitor expenditures reveals the importance of leading markets: British tourists, accounting for 32.2% of the total, spent an average of €100.29 daily; Israeli tourists, comprising 13% of the influx, led spending figures at €151.10 per day; and Polish tourists, forming 7.4% of the market, spent an average of €90.23 daily. These insights underscore not only an uptick in visitor numbers but also an enhancement in spending power, reinforcing tourism’s essential role in Cyprus’s economic framework.

Conclusion

The upward trend in tourism revenue, boosted by both increased visitor arrivals and higher per capita expenditures, solidifies the sector’s strategic importance to Cyprus’s broader economy. This strong performance offers a compelling signal to investors and policymakers amidst evolving global tourism dynamics.

Cyprus Fuel Prices Jump 20.5% As Energy Costs Rise Across The EU

Cyprus recorded a 20.5% year-on-year increase in the prices of fuels and lubricants for personal transport in May 2026, according to Eurostat data released on Monday.

The increase was broadly in line with the European Union average of 20.7%, with fuel and lubricant prices rising across all EU member states during the period.

Cyprus Tracks The EU Average

Among EU countries, the largest annual increases were recorded in Bulgaria (33.9%), Luxembourg (32.2%), Lithuania (30.8%) and Romania (30.4%). At the other end of the scale, Hungary registered the smallest increase at 3.5%, while annual growth ranged from 12.7% in Poland to 29.2% in France across the remaining member states.

Eurostat noted that fuel and lubricant prices generally declined across the EU until February 2026 before moving higher in subsequent months.

Diesel And Petrol Follow Different Paths

Across the European Union, diesel prices increased by 29% in May 2026 compared with the same month a year earlier, while petrol prices rose by 16.2%. Monthly trends, however, were more mixed. Between April and May 2026, diesel prices across the EU fell by 5.8%, whereas petrol prices increased by 0.8%.

In Cyprus, diesel prices declined by 1.5% over the same period. Although lower than in April, the decrease was less pronounced than in Germany (-11.9%), Greece (-8.5%), Estonia (-8.4%) and Ireland (-8.1%).

Petrol prices moved in the opposite direction, rising by 2.1% between April and May. A similar pattern was observed across much of the EU, with 23 member states reporting monthly increases. Italy recorded the largest monthly rise in petrol prices at 6.9%, while decreases were reported in Germany (-5.6%), Ireland (-2.0%) and Sweden (-0.7%).
