The tourist arrivals so far are satisfactory given the continued disruptions in travelling due to the Covid pandemic, Cyprus Deputy Minister for Tourism Savvas Perdios has said, noting that arrivals for the period of January – October will amount to 45% of tourist arrivals of 2019 a record breaking year.
The results are considered satisfactory as Cyprus has a stricter protocol compared with Cyprus’ peers and Cyprus is included in the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) red list.
As regards, the October arrivals, Perdios said they are expected to reach 70% of the arrivals of the respective month of 2019 but stressed that per capita expenditure in 2021 has risen €810 from €678 in 2019.
