Despina Panayiotou Theodosiou, co-CEO of Tototheo Global, emphasised the importance of this technology, highlighting its ability to bring much-needed transparency and performance management in a multi-network service environment. Theodosiou noted that as ships engage with multiple satellite providers and networks, Neuron 360 will maintain high-quality connectivity and reduce operational disruptions.

Further strengthening this partnership is the deployment of Neuron Grid, an AI-driven network management solution designed to intelligently orchestrate connectivity across various providers and network types, including LEO, MEO, GEO, 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi. By consolidating these services into a single channel, Neuron Grid ensures reliable coverage, optimal QoE, and efficient bandwidth and cost management.

Theodosiou expressed confidence in Neuron Grid’s potential to reduce network management costs and enhance the overall user experience. This AI-powered solution will enable intelligent routing of traffic, ensuring continuous and reliable connectivity, thereby eliminating the inefficiencies associated with manual interventions.

Benny Retnamony, founder and CEO of Neuron, highlighted the transformative impact of intelligent multi-provider, multi-orbit orchestration on the shipping industry. He pointed out that this technology would unlock new use cases for shipping companies, allowing them to scale their connectivity needs dynamically while maintaining high QoE and low total cost of ownership.

Cyprus Hits Historic Tourism Peak As Overtourism Risks Mount

February 13, 2026

Record-Breaking Performance In Tourism

Cyprus’ tourism sector achieved unprecedented success in 2025 with record-breaking arrivals and revenues. According to Eurobank analyst Konstantinos Vrachimis, the island’s performance was underpinned by solid real income growth and enhanced market diversification.

Robust Growth In Arrivals And Revenues

Total tourist arrivals reached 4.5 million in 2025, rising 12.2% from 4 million in 2024, with momentum sustained through the final quarter. Tourism receipts for the January–November period climbed to €3.6 billion, marking a 15.3% year-on-year increase that exceeded inflation. The improvement was not driven by volume alone. Average expenditure per visitor increased by 4.6%, while daily spending rose by 9.2%, indicating stronger purchasing power and higher-value tourism activity.

Economic Impact And Diversification Of Source Markets

The stronger performance translated into tangible gains for the broader services economy, lifting real tourism-related income and overall sector turnover. Demand patterns are also shifting. While the United Kingdom remains Cyprus’ largest source market, its relative share has moderated as arrivals from Israel, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Austria, and Poland have expanded. This gradual diversification reduces dependency on a single market and strengthens resilience against external shocks.

Enhanced Air Connectivity And Seasonal Dynamics

Air connectivity has improved markedly in 2025, with flight volumes expanding substantially compared to 2019. This expansion is driven by increased airline capacity, enhanced route coverage, and more frequent flights, supporting demand during shoulder seasons and reducing overreliance on peak-month flows. Seasonal patterns remain prominent, with arrivals building through the spring and peaking in summer, thereby bolstering employment, fiscal receipts, and corporate earnings across hospitality, transport, and retail sectors.

Structural Risks And Future Considerations

Despite strong headline figures, structural challenges remain. The European Commission’s EU Tourism Dashboard highlights tourism intensity, seasonality, and market concentration as key risk indicators. Cyprus records a high ratio of overnight stays relative to its resident population, signalling potential overtourism pressures. Continued reliance on a limited group of origin markets also exposes the sector to geopolitical uncertainty and sudden demand swings. Seasonal peaks place additional strain on infrastructure, housing availability, labour supply, and natural resources, particularly water.

Strategic Investment And Market Resilience

Vrachimis concludes that sustained growth will depend on targeted investment, product upgrading, and continued market diversification. Strengthening year-round offerings, improving infrastructure capacity, and promoting higher-value experiences can help balance demand while preserving long-term competitiveness. These measures are essential not only to manage overtourism risks but also to ensure tourism remains a stable pillar of Cyprus’ economic development.
