Cyprus Tourism Revenue Rises 7.4% In Early 2026

Recent data from the Cyprus Statistical Service reveals that tourism revenues rose by 7.4% during January and February 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This upward trend in earnings comes ahead of the onset of the US-Israel conflict targeting Iran, highlighting the sustained recovery in the tourism sector.

Steady Growth In Tourism Revenues

In February 2026 alone, tourism revenues reached €85.3 million, marking a 7% increase from €79.7 million in February 2025. Over the combined period of January and February 2026, total earnings from tourism climbed to €159.9 million from €148.9 million recorded the previous year.

Increasing Arrivals And Shifting Spending Trends

The robust growth in revenues has been supported by a notable rise in tourist arrivals. January 2026 saw an 8.5% increase in visitors compared to January 2025, with February recording a 9.5% climb. However, the average expenditure per tourist experienced a modest decline; in February 2026, the per capita spend dropped by 2.3% to €581.85 from €595.71 in the same month last year.

International Market Dynamics

Analysis of the visitor demographics indicates that the United Kingdom remained the largest tourism market for Cyprus in February 2026, representing 19.3% of all arrivals. British tourists spent an average of €72.72 per day. Additionally, Poland accounted for 18.4% of visitors, with Polish tourists spending an average of €75.02 daily. Israel emerged as the third-largest market, with 12.6% of arrivals, and its visitors led in daily spending at €157.15.

The continued growth in tourism revenue, coupled with rising visitor numbers, underscores the resilience of Cyprus’ tourism industry amid a shifting geopolitical landscape. As the island nation capitalizes on its appeal to international travelers, strategic investments and market diversification will be critical to sustaining long-term economic momentum.
